Like the title says, what do you use and why?
I myself switched from regular 5w30 to a synthetic blend to clean the sludge out then after 2 runs with synthetic blend I went full synthetic. It has special detergents to clean and prevent sludge build up and allows the engine to run a bit smoother in my experience.

Amsoils seems to perform very well.....By Switching to Amsoil Synthetic ATF oil your vehicle will get new lease on life..
