Looking through the approved Allison fluids list (TES295), the best deal I found locally was Castrol BP Autran (green bucket). This was at NAPA in a 5 gallon pail. I forget the exact price difference, but compared to either Transynd or Mobil Delvac from the same store, it was a smoking deal (and not a sale price). Not sure if this holds true in other locales or from other suppliers, though.


I've read, but can't confirm, that it's exactly the same fluid as Transynd. Does anyone have further info on this?

I bought some gallon jugs of BP tes295. If it meets the rating its more or less as good.

Agreed. I just thought I had read it was exactly the same, not just of comparable performance (rebranded, in other words). I could be wrong. I found the forum / thread I thought I had read that at, but can't find that exact quote now.

The guy doing the talking seems to know his stuff, so it's a good thread regardless. Check it out:
