Default What do you guys run for tranny oil?

I've been running the oem fluid, but its expensive and I change it frequently, so I'm wondering if any of you all run delvac, redline, or anything else in your G86 spec trannies as they are glass like to begin with.

thanks.

Swepco with an annual change. There’s some thought that having solid motor and trans mounts causes premature wear on the transmission, so that’s probably more the culprit than any particular fluid or drain interval.

Solid mounts are illegal though.

I use Delvac.

Miller 75/90 w/o friction modifiers. PO used it and saw no reason to change...........? But trans may be on the way out based on this from the magnetic drain plug.

At last change - Hmmm.
