What is the current choice for Type-F transmission fluid.

[cleandan]

I am wondering what is the current go to Type-F transmission fluid to use?

Type-F has been an industry standard fluid for a long time, as well as being used in the transmissions.
I have a C6 that will get a fluid and filter service and am just curious if there are any current better fluids to use for a transmission that is in an occasional use toy type car?

I know about many different brands and formulations but just want to hear what has been experienced.
Thanks in advance.

I don’t know if it’s any better or just on par with others, but you can get Type F right from the Ford dealer parts dept. As regular Type F has become somewhat harder to find at the chain auto parts stores I’ve just been getting this, seems fine. And I like supporting Ford Motor Company when possible. In the past I’ve always just used a name brand Type F in my race car & older cars, never had an issue with any.

Type F is commonly available.  I can still buy it off the shelf at all the local parts stores.  You need to use the type of fluid that is specified for the soft parts and friction materials in the transmission.  Type F can swell seal types not designed for Type F.  It can give other transmission types a firmer shift because the friction materials are not compatible with Type F.  I heard that B&M's trans fluid was a modified Type F.

I keep a couple of cases handy.  Common stuff.  I think the last two I bought were Amale brand. If it meets the spec, it meets the spec.  B&M fluid  IMHO is basically Type F.
