Im about to change my trans fluid, filter, and a good flush, plus put in an HD servo. Ive been running regukar Quaker State ATF and was told that using a synthetic would help out my tranny and tranny temps. Anyone got expereince with synthetic ATF? BTW Im not sure the millage on the tranny, and its a 96 5.7l 4l60e

I've used Mobil 1 synthetic ATF in the trans and transfer case in the past and put a lot of miles on without issue.

Motorcycles use synthetic oil that is shared with the wet clutch. The clutch itself is a pack like an automatic has inside.
