[FC] What type of synthetic transmission fluid is OK in a Powerglide

[corvanatics@corvair.org]

Gail,
The synthetic ATF will be just fine (I'm sure some would probably rather see 
you use AMSOIL, but MOBIL 1 is still a good reliable brand), but remember if 
you are just doing a drain & refill the torque converter will still have some 
of the old ATF in it. Best time to switch to a synthetic is when you've had the 
critter bone dry and the converter completely drained... I remember years ago 
on the VV list some of the guys told how you could put a drain hole in the 
converter, but I believe that still involved removal of the converter.
Good luck!
