Default What ATF?

Curious if there is a preferred ATF everyone uses. About to change it and found lots of threads on procedure but not much on what type.

Thanks for any advice.

Royal Purple, it may cost more, but you don't change your transmission fluid all that often.

Red line is usually considered one of the best tranny oils

Redline or Amsoil. Make sure it is a Mercon V.

I got valvoline mercon v at oriellys, I think it was $6 a quart. I thought I heard somewhere that all mercon v is synthetic, is that true?

Your wrong. All mercon V is sythetic. The differece between brands is the amount of detergents mixed in.
