Wrong-
The WC T-5 uses ATF as per section 2, item 4 of the Tremec PDF.

AMC said to use DexIII, and burn'd up allot of T-4 -5 trannys(the WC T-5 is not anydangthing like the Jeep T-5 )
Borg-Warner would not back AMC on this issue and AMC had to pay for the burn'd up units.
That is why the 'stink-oil' was developed.
Somewhere in history there is a TSB warning NOT to use ATF in the T-4 /5.
Penn, Synco is good and I have been run'n Valvoline syn 75W-90 in mine for many-many years.
Stay with the Penn syncro.
