[n2dmax]

I am some what confused I am going amsoil and do not know what to use, and how much ,in my 05 lly 5 speed allison automatic .I called amsoil tech support and they said to use amsoil universal atf .but could not tell me how much.I just want to change the filter and how much oil there is when you do that.

i'm using the amsoil torque drive and if you drop the pan and change the filter I believe it takes about 9- 10 quarts. if you have a deep pan its more

A lot, be ready for your wallet to hurt. GM rates it at I believe 14 quarts after a rebuild.

On most of the stock pan trucks ive done its taken 9-10 with a stock pan and just doing the internal filter and such.

It takes about 7-8 quarts to service the Ally using the drain plug and external filter change.

I can see the confusion on which fluid to use. Is your Allison stock or modified?

I changed the fluid and filter .I pulled the drain plug too.it took about 7 quarts .I used the universal trans fluid.I thinkI could have used amsoil torque drive .I am told that this is a little better fluid for the allison transmission .is this true????

It's suppose to be the comparable fluid to the Transyd Fluid. So it would be better than what come in it.

Maybe a amsoil guy will chime in.

Torque Drive is a suitable replacement for Transynd

There has been a reformulation:

ATL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid,
is the replacement for DEX VI, not ATF!

not sure what atl is ?are you saying that I cannot use torque drive in my 5 speed allison automatic 05 model tranny ..thank you

Not at all. Torque Drive is perfectly fine for your '05. In '06 GM decided all Ally's would have to use a Dex VI fluid to be covered under warranty.

I would and will use Torque Drive all day long.

ATL is the new Dex VI compatible fluid, ATF is no longer Dex VI compatible as the viscosity is too high.
