+1 The transmission technician I talked to told me that in some vehicles (late model Chevrolets and Fords), that the manufacturers actually have their own custom blend transmission oil (automatic and manual) and by using an off brand would indeed void the warranty if anything failed. I know that my wife's Jetta's transmission uses a form of mineral oil!! That fluid was $80+ a quart! You cannot use anything else, so it makes sense the same would hold true for the Camaro. I still want to put in my Royal Purple!!!
