Did we ever decide on a fluid for the NV5600?

I've searched and searched boys, and we don't seem to have decided on a fluid for the nv5600 (other than that recommended by Mopar). I'm really looking to replace it with a synthetic and can't seem to find a concensus. Let's bring this one up again and come to a decision! Thx.

I guess the safe plan is using Mopar brand or Pennzoil Synchomax. Meets Mopar spec. Synthetic it's either Redline MTL or Royal Purple.<br><br>MikeyB

This one has been thrashed out nine ways from Sunday. Do a search in this forum and the 24 valve forum.

I thought the book called for a Syn 75-85W GL-4. There are only a zillion flavors out there. Pick one and run with it.
