I prefer REDLINE 75W90.

Good stuff.

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.
