Recently had my Allison AT542 serviced by my diesel mechanic. Rather than the Transend, he recommended the Amsoil synthetic transmission fluid. His primary business is performance diesels.

i just bought a new to me coach.
it is a 1998 chassis
since im not home right now, dont know which allison it has.
however when i did my walk around, it has a big sticker that the dexron 2 fluid has been replaced with engine oil (15-40).
the dealer indicated that a lot of coaches did this to have smoother shifts?
is that because of dextron2 vs newer dextron 3, or transynd?
better to just leave it, or upgrade to transynd?
