t5 tranny fluid?

jwboner · 12-30-2001, 04:13 AM

I am replacing the fluid in my t5 and don't really remember what I used before, but now I am trying to find out the best type to use in it. Conventional or synthetic?

I prefer the straight old mercon ATF, but i'm sure a lot of people use synthetic. Do you use synthetics in the rest of your car? If you have had good luck with them and don't mind spending the extra buck it sure couldn't hurt.
