Whats best tranny fluid for TKO500

[Slow5.0]

I was wandering whats best tranny fluid for TKO500
I heard that all TKO or Tremec transmissions have to run GM Synchromesh fluid ???

 

[Killercanary]

Run the synchromesh, just make sure its the correct type as I believe there are two different ones.

Yup

I have the TKO 600 waiting to be installed and I called Tremec and they told me that I could run the Mobil 1 tranny fluid.

I run synchromesh in mine. I don't see why you couldn't run a comparable fluid though. But if you have to buy it why not just get the synchromesh?

Ok , where to get it , local Chevy dealership ?
