Lubricant know how needed>>> - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

ZR1Vette · 12-31-2008

Although this has nothing to do with the ZR-1 (already changed every lubricant to brake fluid thanks to the know how of this forum of recommending what to use

)... this is for my C6.

The MY05 C6 has a Tremec T56 tranny (mine also has a B&M SS) and it is time to change its fluid (along with the engine and diff...those lubricants I have finalized), but finding recommendations all over the place for the 6 sp tranny:
-OEM- Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid 88861800
-Royal Purple Synchromax
-RedLine D4 ATF
-Amsoil Synthetic ATF
-Amsoil 5-30W Synthetic Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid

First, why use ATF in a manual tranny? I am partial to Amsoil products, but really sorta stymied here on what to use. You guys have any observations or experience with this topic?

Appreciated any comments...
