Locally Transynd is $66 a gallon.  I used Mobil Delvac 1 which is Allison TES295/TES468 approved.  Can get it from Summit Racing $32 gallon if you purchase the 4 pack. and free shipping.  I needed 7 gallons.

I got the last TES 295 Allison fluid  from A Mack dealer 195.00 5 gallons. Check around most heavy truck dealers stock it. BP Autran TES295 is one I have used, some decent deals on line, if you can get free shipping.

I have the Amsoil equivalent in ours and very pleased with it.
Amsoil Torque Drive is the name. All fluids in our vehicles are Amsoil and I like the longer change times it gives

Stewart and Stevenson (Allison dealer) in Corpus Christi 37.00 a gallon in singles.  Two months ago.  I've found the Allison dealers to have the best price on Transynd and filters.  The two small square cut o rings I bought for 27.00 were a different matter though.

Someone mentioned, the "Sq O rings"  outside the engine,,  a sq o ring is a wonderful item if U like to change them often.

The problem is compression set, the only reason u need a O ring or similar is thermal expansion. The "static" parts move around for a variety of reasons.

A Sq cut, as we called it a  Lathe , Cut is a ring whacked of from a extrusion, [rubber]  before or after  Curing.  It's big problem it has not been compression molded, [think forged vs cast].  A compression molded O ring is the somewhat same, it is put into a mold,  squeezed & Under temperature /pressure & often Vacuum. Until cured.

For us the basic benefit, that gives better compression set resistance. 

Compression set is when U take it out, its flat on 2 sides [maybe 1] but still looks pretty good,

Not the scope to go further, my opinion a used O ring, with no visible defects exceeds the ability of a new SQ cut.  Given both are the same "rubber".  Rubber is a another story..
 Regards,
Bill

One housing is rounded O ring socket and the other is flat sided and bottom O ring socket. Different years have one or the other.

Are these seals included in my filter kit I purchased. Or do I need to purchase separately?
Title: Re: Transynd oil
Post by: DayDreamer on September 12, 2020, 03:24:10 pm
The Allison kit 29558329 I purchased contained two filters, two flat gaskets, 4 o-rings for the filters and one o-ring for the drain plug.  There were no extras for my application.  My transmission is HD4060R and does not use the square cut sealrings.

This kit did not include the square cut filter cover sealrings.  The instruction sheet includes a note stating the square cut sealrings must be obtained separately and were used in transmissions manufactured prior to January 22, 1996 prior to 3000 series S/N 6510069120 and 4000 series S/N 6610009730.

The filter kit I just received has square and round O rings with instructions to use the same as what is removed and parts that may or may not be needed.
