Tremec 3550

[Venom351R]

Is it ok to run Royal purple for MT Transmissions in this? I know some of the Tremec's (TKO 500/600) require the GM Synchromesh

 

[95strokerPSU]

Don't know...I run synchromesh in my 3550

NOW...I can be in on this conversation

I just bought Synchromesh for "MY" Tremec
RC

 

[ProKiller]

i wouldn't. i'd get the synchromesh stuff.

 

[Venom351R]

I got an e-mail back from Royal purple they said it was fine to use it.

 

[ProKiller]

is there a reason you want to use royal purple instead of the synchromesh?

good to know though

 

[Yobi1Kanobi]

I mean everybody uses syncromesh and you gotta be different. Whats up with that?

 

[Venom351R]

dunno just happened to be what I bought

 

[SVTCobra306]

I'd call Tremec or one of the reputable tranny shops. Bob Hanlon went through my TKO500 and his recommendation was either Synchromesh or Redline also makes a high load resistant oil, I'll have to look for the number of it.

 

[Venom351R]

Here is the official word from Tremec I just got off the phone w/ them.

The Royal purple is not recommended but only b/c they have not tested w/ it yet. not that it wont work with it. They said the GM Synchromesh, Mobil 1 are fine and also Pennzoil which is who makes the GM Synchromesh.

 

[Grn92LX]

gm syncromesh or pennzoil syncromesh.

I asked Tremec

Funny how the Tech on the phone said it will not work but the e-mail I got said it would. I dont see why Royal Purple would make a tranny fluid that would not work with a wide range of transmissions. Just b/c they have not tested it does not mean it's not good for it.
