use the castrol dino oil 5-30wt with the wix/purolator plus oil filters..

in the tranny use the dexronVI or the mobil fully synthetic tranny fluid ..with a filter replacement also ....

replace the fluid 2-3x if it has a bad color / odor to it ...

The reason you can't get GOOD technical information around here is because of "manual mechanics" like jcat. He opened a chilton once about 1980 and thinks he is an expert.

The 11.5 car in my signature gets street driven a LOT and my favorite track to go to is 150miles EACH way so on many days I race I put more than 300 miles on it. It is not a racecar, it is a quite fast street car. If you run the math on the quarter mile data and the weight you will see it makes nearly DOUBLE stock HP. Street driving something like this makes you actually figure out what works as opposed to blindly trusting the ads on Spike saturday morning.

Transmission is over 6 years old and nothing fancy inside just well assembled. Been fed mostly Walmart store brand fluid. Tranny I had before this one got M1 and lasted barely over a year behind less power.
