I've used Redline, Amsoil, and Royal Purple in my 2nd and 3rd gens, and to be totally frank, they all work just as well as the other.

I just reread your original question, and YES it's okay to use synthetic in your 3rd gen...if anything it is preferable.

Good luck

I use NEO synthetic (from www.bakerprecision.com) for both tranny and diff (same fluid), and I did notice a difference in shifting (better of course). Oh, and the old diff fluid was NASTY, boy was that stuff gross, it looked horrible.
