For the manual trans that calls for ATF-which ATF?

[Uncle Paully]

hey guys.
just doing a tune up on the 535 and was wondering what the concensus was on the ATF. I'll probably just use the standard mercon 3 but what do you guys say?
also, does anyone have the spec on how many foot pounds for the spark plugs and the valve cover bolts?
thanks a lot

For ATF you can try either Redline D4-ATF or Mobil 1 Synth ATF. I'm running Mobil 1 Synth after a winter of Redline MTL. Mobil 1 is noticeably smoother in all temps.

Cheers,

I switched to Mobil 1 ATF a month ago, just because I was under there anyways doing the oil, and there was absolutely no difference at all. So, I would say go for it, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary. I may try Redline later on and see how that works, but the tranny shifts fine as it is so I'm not trying to eleviate any problem.

Better than the ATF my indy put in.

Mobil 1 ATF is very good stuff in manual trannies spec'ed for ATF.
