Thats what i got from the local dodge dealer but there proud of it,98 bucks for 4 quarts of pure gold

cummin try me 05-17-2010 02:57 PM

I have also heard that the amsoil version of it(MTG 75w-90) works just fine. I am getting ready to put it in when I drain mine and add fast coolers. $12.85/qt. sure beats the $20+ my dodge dealer wanted, especiallt\y when it'll end up taking ~7.5 qts.

I would recommend the Mopar fluid. Local tranny shop started using the amsoil and has used a couple other brand fluids and he said he doesnt know what it is in the mopar but every other fluid he has tried has caused the clutches to come apart in the tranny. He said since he went back to the mopar he hasnt had anymore problems with the clutches coming apart and the fluid was the only thing changed in the rebuilds.

Primarily a driver but will make a hook now and then. Thanks for the help.

Jamie if I get it done I may hook it at Westmorland.

Been running the amsoil in my 4500 , since I had it rebuilt 20,000 miles ago and its still like new...

running the amsoil for 3 yrs now and no issues been told that you can use any GL-4 rated or higher synthetic oil. i would stick with the dealer type or amsoil.

I don't know about clutches inside a standard trans.. but from what i've seen and experienced first hand... if you try to be cheap with the fluid the syncros will burn up.

Well im not sure if it was the oil or not in mine but i have ripped the teeth off of 5th and now 3rd on friday, gonna do full rebuild and use the mopar stuff and see what happens.

TxDiesel007 05-18-2010 11:34 AM

Over 200K in mine with the Amsoil. Everything looked good when I put the new shifter top on in September.

Valvoline tech says their 75-90 SYNGEAR is what they recommend.
