Extended TrandSyndTES295 fluid and filter change intervals are only allowed with Allison High-Capacity filters.

Less than 100% concentration of TranSynd or TES295 approved fluid is considered a mixture and should utilize TES389 change
intervals. If the customer replaces non-TranSynd or non-TES295 fluid with TranSynd or TES295 equivalent, the change interval
recommendations of TES389 or mixture must be followed. Upon the next oil change, if the customer reinstall TranSynd or TES295
equivalent, the fluid & filter change recommendation outlined in 100% TES295 approved fluids must be followed.
