Royal Purple Mas ATF or SynchroMax?

[crew_dawg16]

I've noticed there is a Max ATF and a Synchro Max manual transmission fluid from Royal Purple. My question is which should I use? The owners' manual says to use ATF, but is the Royal purple Synchro Max designed for this?

ATF= automatic transmission fluid hince ATF so if you have an auto go with that and if you have a manual go with the other one.

well we are supposed to use atf type oil, so im guessing i can use both, but is one better then the other??

if it is a t-45 you are supposed to use the ATF it is dexron III/Mercron compatable

misread . . .sry.

WTF? You are not answering his question, he asked which of the two to use, not your opinon on which brand. Dawg you want the synchromax, your tranny isnt going to break if you used the other but the synchromax is whats recomended. Thats what I use.

T3650 uses ATF Mercon fluid. I am using the ATF RP fluid and it's smoother then with the factory fluids.

ok, i will go to a performance shop today to see if i can find the synchromax.
