T56 Transmission Fluid

Pennzoil...eww

C'mon mister oil expert. Pennzoil is the label they stick on Shell lubricants (same guys that make the rotella) sold in the US these days. The exact same stuff gets a shell sticker overseas.

Pennzoil is nothing but a label brand these days.

I was told the Pennzoil was the same as GM synchromesh. Joe Dietrich told me to run this in my 600RR.

I highly recommend Mobil products. Could be biased...

Got a recommendation for a Mobil synchromesh?

I was actually just gigging Pranav. I did look it up and on the surface M1 doesn't make a Synchromesh equivalent. In the Astro I'm running a brew of Redline D4 ATF and the Syngear Synerlube II that they recommend.

In the Astro, I ran Amsoil ATF and Syngear Synerlube II and it worked flawlessly.

The Syngear Synerlube II is as high as Giraffe pussy but it must work.

Ran Redline D4 ATF for years following the recommendation of LAW Motorsports and never had any issue. I have switched to Motul Gear 300 75/90- D4 ATF along with Patterson I believe and also haven't had any issue that I'm aware of.
My thought is the T56 is overkill for our power levels and I don't think heat is an issue either so run a good fluid that can handle the heat. That's where I'm led to believe Motul does a good job of handling heat-I run Motul in engine, trans, and rear end.
