tranny oil ?
time for me to change my tranny here. was wondering if any of you have any input to what kind of oil i should put back in? also any helpful hints on how to do it,I'm new to all of this and try to save money doing my own work. learning as i go. i love my truck will not take short cuts on it. also how much oil does it take,and what kind of filter do you recomend. thanks guys. oh i have a 2000 f-350 7.3.again thanks.

if it is an automatic, i would look into Amsoil Torque Drive. i posted this a few minutes ago in another thread:
