Questions: Fluids and Wiring

Riddler said

Lets start with fluids. The car is a 76 Duster with 6.1L Hemi and 96 T56 with a 8.75 rear end. Here's a list of the fluids I put together.

Oil: Mobil 1 - 0w40 OR Rotella T6 - 5w40. From what I understand I need seven quarts from dry plus another six quarts due to the Milodon oil pan? This seems like a lot of oil? Anyone know how much is needed for a 6.1L with a Milodon swap pan?

Transmission: Mopar T56 Fluid ($$$$) OR GM Synchromesh. Only need four quarts.

Rear Axle: 80/90 OR 75w90 with a bottle of Mopar Sure Grip Fluid. Need 2.5 to three quarts.

Coolant: Regular green coolant needed mix 50/50 water.

Motor: AMSOIL recently (within the last 6 months) came out with a new 0W-40 Signature series oil for the high performance modern Mopars. I use it in my RAM SRT-10 and have been happy with it.

Transmission: My SRT has the Viper spec T-56 but after trying a few different fluids AMSOIL Manual Transmission fluid gave me the smoothest shifts hot or cold. With the factory fill stuff the trans was a little notchy when cold. Using AMSOIL MT fluid is what sold me on their products so if their is one spot where you want to give it a shot the trans would be it.

Rear: Using AMSOIL sever gear with a bottle of their fiction modifier in the Dana.

Coolant: Going to give AMSOIL's new anti-freeze a try in my new 440 build for my Swinger. Haven't used it yet so I'm going to sit here and recommend it. But I have used AMSOIL coolant booster and noticed reduced warm up times so thats a plus.
