I filled my getrag with 30 weight Mobile 1, 15000 mile, put those expanders on the sides that add 3 more quarts and haven't touched it since. Come on down or wait a bit and come on over

Thinking about bringing back the robot dance

OUCH! I know how you feel. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and have vertebrae that fuse all on their own. Before they fuse they hurt like heck. I have to stay on a non-inflamatory diet because of it and do exercising to keep limber. (in my back that is.

The regular depth Magtec should be just fine.

According to Dave Goerend, theres a tradeoff with extra fluid vs extra cooling.

Here's the one I run on my transmissions - Goerend 47/48RE Transmission Pan Kit - Goerend Transmission, Inc.

I’m sorta glad, too, as refilling the pan with the synthetic can be some $$. My MagHytec on my 2002 Ford Powerstroke is very deep. To completely fill the system it takes like 22 quarts. That pan alone takes 16 quarts.

The extra fluid that comes with a deep pan is nice, but I’ve always wondered if that meant just more fluid to try and keep cool. I do like the aluminum pans, though, for their heat dissipating abilities.
