Amsoil ATF. Even more important is a good trans cooler and temperature gauge.

Re: E4od trans fluid
Amsoil synthetic tested best by Raybestos per one of their engineers who did all the tests.
I run Lucas Oil because I get it free, it works great, and I change it every 10000 miles.
at 17 quarts...fluid changes arent cheap.

Re: E4od trans fluid
How much is amsoil and where can I buy it? Anyone have a link to the atf testing? I drive my truck everyday but only put about 1500 miles on per year. I want to buy the best longest lasting fluid because its prob going to be years before it gets changed again

You wont find a link...it is internal engineering department testing...not something public.
I think its about $12/quart and you can get it online or at any amsoil dealer.

Re: E4od trans fluid
Im pretty sure Philo is an amsoil dealer. It was about $12.50 a quart last time i bought some. Severe gear is my favorate product that they offer. THE TRANS FLUID IS A CLOSE SECOND...
There is no substititute for Horsepower.

Re: E4od trans fluid
Ken Mogi swears by Swepco. He says with all of his testing and eval, it performed the best at extreme temperatures and abuse. Mobil 1 was #2 on his list and that's what I run in mine.

Re: E4od trans fluid
Yeah, the longer I'm around racers the more I see Sweepco in their gear... Parkhouse uses it religously... last years 500 they saw tranny temps of 330+ (clogged filter outlet) and post race checks... the fluid was clear and clean, no tranny issues at all! They kicked ass!
Re: E4od trans fluid
Cant go wrong with Swepco. We have had a lot of good luck with Lucas Oil products too.
I keep my leaky transmission topped of with this, lol
