From Dino to Synthetics

I plan to change my transmissionn and rear end fluids to synthetics. Of course I'll drain all the fluids out that I can but if there is still some Dino fluid left, can the 2 peacefully coexist? Anything to look out for?

Most synthetics are Dino Compatible...I don't think you would have any problem...Redline MTL, and Mobil 1 have worked well for me....

I'm using RedLine MT-90 in my trans and RedLine 75W90 Gear Oil in my limited slip diff. I'm quite happy with both, shifting is way smoother and my diff doesn't chatter any more.

Hey Canuck...

No-one says you gotta use Red-line. There's other good syns out there. Like the Wrench-hand said, Mobil One works fine for him, and it sure helps my 'ol Silver run 'er best....

Denny,
From the 'ol corncrib....
