Dexron III would be my first choice . but higher numbers are ok. Dexron specs for the newer fluids are backwards compatible . and there are many other fluids that meets specs for BW / Velvet drive. But the reason I like dexron spec fluids is you can find them anywhere even 7-11 .Christian wrote:Thanks for all the advice guys.
I will go with Rotella T for the engines and straight W30 for the V-Drives. As far as the Tranny fluid is concerned, What type of ATF oil are you guys using? Type 3, Type 4, Type 5...?
Thanks again for the support on this most mundane question...
