Joe,

The synthetic Red Line MTL (75W/80W) and MT-90 (75W/90W) products have
both been recommended, with the MTL probably better north, and MT-90
better south.

I think a warm drain and fill is adequate, but I do remember Todd Hill
suggesting an ATF flush for really crudded trannies.

A good on-line source for Red Line: Al Smith's Automotive Products-

Ordered several times from them-pleased with their service
