straight from the workshop manual

Lubricants (Spec and Capacity) Fluid
T50D-MERCON® Multi-Purpose ATF Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX 2.6L (2.8 qt)
TR3650 MERCON® Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX 3.6L (7.5 pt)


i prefer 1 quart Ford synthetic manual trans fluid and fill the rest with atf.

Amsoil synthetic ATF and it shifts better than the Mobil 1 I had in it or the Castrol.

Hard to believe the fluid type would actually make a noticeable difference. Any full synthetic ATF would be just fine and would give you great protection against whatever it is that goes on in that big chunk 'o tranny.

I spent several hours with Tremec tech support about this official recommendation and almost ruined my tranny following it. In the northeast,once it gets cold,the dex will cause grinding.I switched to a full syn atf and the tranny is smoothe as silk. Use non syn Dex at your own risk.

So the T45 needs how many quarts? I saw the amounts for the T5 and for the 3650, but not the T45

I just changed to Royal Purple Synchromax. Shifts even smoother than when the Mobil 1 atf was in there even when cold. I know that Tremec doesn't "recommend" using this, but I went with it anyway and am happy I did. With the 3650 you'll need 4 quarts. It won't run out the hole, but according to the manual the tranny needs 3.7 liters to be full. Since a quart is .945 liters I just did the math.
