Transynd vs Dexron VI
Can Dexron VI be used to replace Transynd on my 2004 Allison 3000 transmission for a fluid and filter change?

The Diesel Supplement manual for the 2018 D/A recommends Dexron VI above temps of -40 F. Below that it specifies TES 295. That holds true for 2013 and up model years
So basically anyone that has an Allison transmission anywhere other than the frozen arctic should not use Transynd TES-295 rated fluid, since most of the lower 48 has temps above -40 F. Only use TES-295 for temps less than -40 F. I think you need to reread your source. :B
