I would go with the Synchromax. The max ATF ( Automatic Transmition Fluid ) is a multi purpose fluid also used in auto trans. Our trans. all call for some sort of Synchromesh fluid. After just changing my fluid I'm only going with Royal Purple. Factory fluid cost me $16 a quart and thats after my 30% discount from my job.

I just went back and reread the sights to make sure. The Synchromax is for trannies specifing the ATF's it is just going to be better for the operating temps. and the shifting etc.
