Transynd

Changed my transmission fluid yesterday. I switched to Transynd about three years back so this is the second synthetic change. That gives me the Allison defined 100%. Anyhow, I got the fluid and filters from Pacific Power (thanks dsd for the 5% coupon). I was surprised to see that the  Transynd arrived in a 5 gallon container rather than the expected one gallon jugs. If you buy from Pacific, you might advise them that you want the smaller containers.

The 5 gallon pails is less expensive per gallon than buying individual gallons.

Set the pail up on a ladder or roof and set up a siphon from there to the transmission fill tube.  With the Allison 3000 you should have remove 2 quarts or so from the pail and use that to top off after checking fluid level. 19 quarts is a common change volume.

And, the pail is a lot easier to put the used fluid in for recycling.

Odd They shipped to me in gallons. Glad to hear the discount code works. Wish we had a dedicated link to available discount codes. I also ordered the service placard and put on the dip stick tube to identify fluid type.

I just used one of those cheapo drill motor pumps. Worked great. Price was the same. Took just a hair less than 5 gallons. Last time is was right on 19 quarts. Going by the transmission pad. It reads: A-ok, good job, thanks.

I use one of those 6 gallon containers you can get at O'Reilly's or Tractor Supply ($35). oil drain pan
