Should be 3-ish for the rear

I’m using same fluid, Amsoil gear oil is great stuff, their ATF makes a noticeable improvement in shift feel every time I swap it out on my manual trans C5Z (yeah sounds odd but Amsoil recommends their synthetic ATF for the Tremec T56) - which made me a real believer in their stuff (on top of engine oil analysis always coming back clean)

No I’m just commenting on how I can immediately notice improvement w. Their atf when I swap for fresh in my manual trans vette

But I am not sure if I’d put anything besides what is recommended for the trans, not gonna change my trans fluid until 60-70k miles, I have 45k now

2003, I don’t know why the manual Tremec T56 trans calls for ATF, but regardless the Amsoil stuff works great

I would just check on Amsoil’s website whether or not it meets the spec for the 10 speed in the Raptor & if so wouldn’t hesitate to use it, I’m using Amsoil fluid in the rear diff & the T-case, but using ford synthetic for the front diff b/c I had the dealer service it as it’s a much harder job than the t-case or rear diff & I didn’t wanna bother w/ it
