Buddy is putting a TH400 on his well-warmed 402 Olds and wanted recommendations on fluid.
He was thinking of going Redline D4-ATF, but at 90 bucks it's a little pricey.
My idea (run it up the flagpole) is to run Pennzoil or Chevron Supreme for the same time as an OCI, and decide if the fluid is getting burnt in that 3k miles.
Really i wouldn't have thought twice, but the non-locking torque convertor has me stumped. How much pounding do these TCs give the fluid? Heat is the killer of fluid and trannies, so it can't be good at all.
thanks much
ferb!
