I use Redline D4 ATF transmission fluid. Seems to shift smoother.

I highly recommend Castrol GTX 10W-30 for your SHO's crankcase. It has been in my car's for 258,000 miles. You can get it at Wal-Mart for a very reasonable price.

I believe that the SHOshop and SPMotorsports has them but what I did was go onto Redline's website and do a search for the nearest dealer. Thats how I got mine.

Does anyone have a mix of tranny fluid? On the contour.org page, they have a write up on half redline and half other stuff for their tranny fluid. Is that supposed to be better and will it work for our cars?

Just go with the Redline. It's the best you can buy, and I guarantee you'll be happy with it.
