Default Type-F in BW tranny's

What are people running in their BW transmissions for fluid? Just straight up type-f or synthetic blends?

Thanks

Here are the rusults of actual tests we did in house with our older graphite plates in our Dry Sump trans. As you can see there is a big spread.

Fluid Torque Capacity %
Type F 1,769 100%
AMSOIL 1,716 97%
ATF+4 1,511 85%
Dexron 3 1,419 80%
Dexron 6 1,386 78%

And our new Kevlar plates

Type F 1,950 110%
Amsoil 1,932 109%
