Reflashing this convertor, too risky. Have a known good enough thing here.
I know just about all the info on the site is about using thicker fluid to lower stall, I'm looking to increase stall as much as possible.
I believe specific gravity is likely the ultimate factor in stall,
So for my type F, using the formula, 141.5/API of 31.5 plus 131.5=.8498
a thinner fluid like their Dexron VI syntethetic with a API of 35 would be a .8681 SG
This is 1.0215% thinner than the type F.
The ATI 0w-8 weight might be a option, I know there are other synthetic fluids out there with real thin weights.

Try the ATI fluid or Dexron III which is about 10W viscosity.
