Hi John,
I know other people on the list have switched to other oil without any
problems. However, I would wait until you warranty is up to do so. If
anything should happen to the tranny and you have other than the Mopar oil
in there, you will most likely be paying the bill yourself. (Just a word to
the wise.)
I plan on changing to synthetic myself, but only after the warranty expires.
I've had my tranny replaced once under warranty (so far), and am getting
ready for the second one to be replaced soon. It is going bad just like the
first one.

Subject: DML: NV3500HD oil?
It's about that time to change the oil in my 5 spd. Dodge says that it only
recommends the Chrysler "special" NV3500 fluid to be used in the NV3500HD in
my truck. I was thinking of going to a sythetic oil since it's cheaper than
the Chrysler stuff ($9/quart). Is the Chrysler stuff really that special
(is it a synthetic?)?? Has anybody had any experience (good or bad) using
anything else in their tranny??
