Amsoil ATF

Can Amsoil Torque-Drive ATF be used in a GM Turbo 400 calling for Dexron III? The application is a one-ton truck used for towing.

TD is an Allison tranmission replacement fluid.

The ATF they sell should be fine for 350/400 turbo

How does Torque-Drive™ compare to AMSOIL Synthetic Transmission Fluid (ATF)?
Torque-Drive™ was created to satisfy the concerns of customers currently using TranSynd®, and it carries with it the confidence to be used for the intervals established by Allison. AMSOIL ATF is a more advanced product with universal applications such as Mercon V and ATF +4. AMSOIL does not recommend draining or switching to Torque-Drive™ unless the Allison customer intends on following the extended drain interval recommendations of Allison.

The Torque Drive would work, but it won't buy you anything. It does meet Dexron III, but ATF is better.

My neighbor had the same rig and tows some heavy trailers. The thing is hard on the ATF and he has killed/burned some dino ATF. Since he changed to Amsoil ATF the fluid stays sweet. The only problem with him, he is my neighbor and wants stuff for free (come to think of it, kinda like you guys

)

Does the universal ATF use VIIs in the formulation?

another vote for Amsoil ATF, it really does work. There is also synlubes ATF which is just as good, synlube.com
