Have a 2000 DSDP with an Alison MD 3060 trans. Been reading the forum re. Transyd. Called Allison and spoke to a Tech. Told him with the high cost of fuel I will only be driving a few thousand miles a year. Do I really need to change to Transyd. He said that the Dextron III was ok to use. I changed the fluid and used the high cap. filters. Found Valvoline Dex III at Napa. Bob S.
With Transynd, your transmission will run cooler, not be affected by seasonal temperature changes, and last much longer that it will with the Dextron! Plus you will not have to change the fluid anywhere near as often when running Transynd. With Transynd, you can probably go years between changes provided you change the filters at the recommended interval and have the Transynd analyzed at the same time. The analysis will tell you if the Transynd has any contaminates in it.
Bob,
I agree completely with wny_pat !!! I couldn't have said it better myself. I came up with the concept of TranSynd and wrote the TES-295 spec to fix two distinct problems we were having with transmission fluids. We were experiencing short lives with DEXRON-III fluids and with Allison C4 oils. The DEXRON-IIIs were losing too much viscosity and the Allison C4 oils (mostly engine oils) were oxidizing too quickly. TranSynd and the TES-295 specification fixed both problems and it truly is a great product. So, I'm not sure why anyone would put anything in an Allison accept TranSynd or a TES-295 approved product unless I can come up with something almost as good (with a life around 100,000 miles and about $10/gal cheaper). Would such a product be attractive to you all?
