Allison Transynd
Mixing Dexron III with Transynd transmission fluid is not recommended. Dexron III is a conventional automatic transmission fluid, while Transynd is a synthetic fluid designed for specific applications, particularly in heavy-duty transmissions. Combining them can compromise the performance and protection qualities of the transmission, potentially leading to issues. It's best to use the manufacturer's recommended fluids for optimal performance.
No, you should not use Allison Transynd in place of Mercon LV. These two transmission fluids are designed for different specifications and applications. Using the wrong fluid can lead to poor performance, potential damage to the transmission, and may void any warranties. Always refer to your vehicle's owner manual for the correct fluid specification.

You should always change the transmission fluid according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. However, it is perfectly fine to add fluid as needed between changes.
Initial fill of an Allison HD4060P should be around 45 quarts (U.S.) Be aware that 2005 and newer models require synthetic fluid "transynd". The specification for this fluid is known as TES 295. If you are changing the fluid & filters via drainplug, the refill amount is around 25 quarts. (add 20 quarts, then look for fluid on the dipstick, adding more as needed). If you doing a filter only change &using synthetic fluid, the amount of fluid required to top off the unit is around 10 quarts. An important item to note- transynd fluid turns yellow in color rather quickly & this does not mean the fluid needs changing- Synthetic fluid change interval is based on mileage and hours.
Yes, it is compatible with Dextron III. It is a superior product the the regular Dexron III.. I run it in all of my auto's.
For a 2005 Chevy pickup equipped with an Allison transmission, you should use Allison Transmission Fluid, specifically the TES 295 specification fluid. This is typically Allison's TranSynd fluid, which is designed to provide optimal performance and protection for the transmission. It's essential to avoid using other types of ATF, as they may not meet the specific requirements of the Allison transmission. Always check the owner's manual for the recommended fluid specifications.
