Synthetic, of course, if you like the truck and plan on keeping it a while.<br>I use Amsoil and have it in the engine, auto tranny, transfer case, and rears. I'd put it in my 5 or 6 speed if I had one. I DO have it in the 5 speed in my 86 BMW, and engine and rear, with 306K on it. ;D<br>No smoke and I drive it like I stole it every time I het in.

I've got an '02 3500 4x4. I use Redline MTL in the NV5600 6 speed, and Redline High Temp ATF in the transfer case, and Redline 85w-140 in the diffs. All are synthetic. I'm very happy with all, some real improvements in shifting, noise, heat during towing, and on the temp gauges. <br><br>I have a letter from Redline stating that MTL exceeds the DC MS 9224 specifications for the transmission, and giving specific reasons why. (Don't mean to start another NV5600 lube "discussion".)<br><br>ascraeus
