read me and respond damn it! =D
Ok I have been reading threads after threads about chainging trannie fluid... I drive a 2006 cobalt ss supercharger. All the treads I've seen go back and forth about what's the best to use... I was thinking about going wth the royal purple but just want to conferm... I don't wanna **** anything up. Thanks for replys!

you'll get all kinds of people telling you to use this, not that: as such I still recommend the oem stuff..... but it's up to you on what you want to use.
I'll offer a tip: remove or loosen fill plug before drain plug, just in case it strips you won't be left with an empty transmission

Okay did some searching and found this post from Maven.

Many GL5s meet/exceed GL4 specs, 75w90 GL4 isnt any easier to find either so its really a moot point. Not to mention that GL5 is the better choice for higher speed operation.
08/09 TCs actually use a different fluid, Castrol 0402, a 75w85 ,which is a GL4 fluid, but in its absence a non friction modified GL5 is the best choice.

Royal Purple 75w90 Max gear is a bad choice. Its exactly what i recommended not using in that quote Slowswap made......its a friction modified oil. you want a NON friction modified oil.
Use the stock stuff (21018899) or Redline 75w90NS, I know there are a small group of guys that are trying Redline MTL with good results (so far) but I have never used it.
