Tranny Oil

[DMcV]

I had my transmission fully serviced, 22 liters of fluid change.
They used a semi synthetic and I wondered if many other 7.3 people are using this type of fluid in their auto tranny's ?
Thanks

Semi synthetic, most likely Valvoline Max Life.

I'm running that stuff in my 4R100. Its happy so I'm happy.

I used Valvoloine Max life in a couple tired old E4od's with great sucsess. Actually, thats the only trans fluid I will use from now on.

trackspeeder....... in your signature you mention '6.0 Charge cooler' is this your trasmission oil cooler ? I soon plan to change out my stock tranny cooler for a 6.0 cooler. I've read several posts and how too's. It looks like a pretty basic switch over, but there is a little time required. Do you have any sugestions or input regarding this upgrade?
Thanks in advance

Conventional transmission fluid is only good for 30,000 miles in mechanically sound transmissions. So buy in bulk.

Should be intercooler.
Charge/charge air.

Charge air cooler is what most people call an intercooler.

Someday I will change the tranny cooler over to a 6 oh unit. For now the temps read well so the V10 cooler will stay.

As said changing to a 6.0 tranny cooler is basic. You will need to change the line fittings from 1/2" to 3/8".

M4OD transmission

Okay first off I want to thank you guys for helping me out of many situations. This site is the best I love you guys. So this is my first time posting I hope I'm on the right thread? So let's start with, I have a 1992 Super Duty IDI non turbo what I think is a 4 speed transmission with overdrive. my question to you guys is what type of transmission fluid do I put? also I'm getting a little grinding hard to put into reverse what could that be?

First off, yes your in the wrong forum, should be in the 6.9-7.3 IDI forum. A 92 Superduty is not a PSD.
It's hard to discern wether you have a manual or automatic transmission. A ZF5 manual is a 4 speed with 5th being overdrive. An E4OD is an automatic 4 speed with overdrive. You say a grinding noise when shifting into reverse, I take that as a manual tranny, I would say, the clutch is not disengageing all the way, your firewall could be cracked, it's common. Have someone push the clutch in while you look under the hood to see if it bends.
I don't mess with handshakers, can't tell you anything about the oil.

Anyhow, Welcome to the forums as a signed on member.

Don't really matter much, this or that forum. But you get more answers in the right one. No big deal.
