Routine Maintenance NV5600
#12
#13
Any synchromesh fluid will work in the NV5600...Red Line MTL, Amsoil MTF, and RP SynchroMax to name a few. Pennzoil is considered a "factory replacement fluid" meeting the exact specs DCX puts out. You can also buy synchromesh fluid at the GM dealer for less than DCX.
Be forewarned, NV5600s are finicky about their fluids...what works well in one, may not work well in yours! in my case, RL MTL works the best, and RP SynchroMax was the worst.
As for the extra fluid...fill to the fill plug, install the fill plug, and add two more quarts through the top PTO cover bolt.
