    Conventional or Synthetic

    The non-turbo models specify conventional oil and the turbo models require synthetic,. The manual also states synthetic can be used if it meets the Chrysler ms-6395 specifications. I probably use penzoil platinum 5w30 and a Mopar or Purolator boss oil filter.

    Maxlife ATF

    Pentosin is another good Atf alternative for 6HP transmissions, A lot of guys that have Bmw"s, Jaguars and Land Rovers is also using Ford Motorcraft Mercon SP in there ZF 6 speed transmissions, It's a few more dollars than Maxlife Atf.
