|smile| My opinion is that if it came with Dino fluid stay with Dino fluid.There may be some exceptions but the old technology is not like the new today and I believe synthetic fluids are for todays vehicles.

Vette(s): 1973 Stingray Coupe and C5 and C6 Coupes.
When I rebuilt my 73 I started using synthetics everywhere. Keep in mind everything (and I mean virtually every mechanical part of the car) was replaced with new or rebuilt parts.

However, if you are just replacing fluids...

If you have used non-syns forever and are not replacing / installing new hardware I would recommend continuing with non-syns.

-- OR --

Rumor has it that synthetics are O.K. to use in older cars... however, if you decide to switch to synthetics don't ever go back to non-syns.
