I'll stick with what I've seen and experienced in my own car. 60,000 mi of perfect use over 2.5 years with a stock diff using MTL compared to obvious wear and notchy shifting using Mobil 1 for a mere 5,000 mi.




I don't recommend anything per say. I thought the transmission shifted excellent with M1 and have nothing but success with it. I'd say use anything over MTL. Bang for the buck is Mobil 1. Terry recommends Ford Honey which is spec'd for the MTX-75. ATF was previously spec'd and that's what I used when it was so. Had great results with it so I'm sticking with it. Put in whatever your heart desires. It's your tranny.
