transmission fluid change?

I'm ready to change out my transmission fluid, however I think I going to switch to a synth. oil.

Question, what type should I purchase and how many quarts should I purchase. Also, will it hurt to add additional additives into the mix?

The last time I changed I pulled the pan off and changed the filter and It only took 5qts?

Search is your friend on oil type.

Don't put anything except transmission oil in there.

Re: transmission fluid change?

Total fluid takes about 11 quarts, drain and refill is 4-5 quarts. I wouldn't add any additives. I use Redline D4 in my 99 auto gxe.

Redline Transmission Fluid is about 9 bucks a bottle and is synthetic. Use MT-90. I have mad mine in my garage about a month waiting to change it. Good Luck.
