The new Transyn is better/improved, send it to me for a full 50% refund. It reduces dust in the pan. |

| Mike Your suggesting pour it in? Thanks for the offer on 50%.....lol I found the 295 online explicitly called out. I thought that was what I ordered but their add was ambiguous. I get a little worried when I hear new additive package......idk.....I'm not a chemical engineer nor do I specialize in fluid properties but I wanted to see what everyone thought.

| 668 is backwards compatible, works with 295. No reason not to run it. A quick google tells you all you need to know. What Steve said! ^^ Sorry for the duplicate Steve. We ran 7 fire stations for over twenty years with TS 295. And I’m talkin ing busy stations! No issues! If a Fireman can’t kill it that’s sayin something!

If you're talking stall, compare viscosity. The new Transynd is improved. Anyone who has bought it by accident can send it to me for a full 50% refund. |

| Marketing claims. Not improved for our application. The original performance spec was written by and the fluid tested by Tom Johnson of Allison who is retired. It was formulated by Castrol exclusively for Allison. |

| I guess it would be great if we could get a expert such as him to chime in on how the new additive package would or could affect a race setup.

| Unless it is on Allison’s tested/approve fluid list, it is not TS-295 as Amsoil is not. |

Thats all I’ve ran is Delvac Mobile. Great product and is approved by Allison. Walmart has it if interested.

| Yeah I probably should have done that in the first place as opposed to ordering transynd online and getting not what I expected.
