Default Transmission oil

I'm planning to change my MN6 transmission oil shortly. Can someone tell me is GM part #88861800 the correct oil for a 1998 Corvette? Thanks

Amsoil Torque Drive synthetic ATF is the absolute best fluid you can put in a 97-00 mn6 transmission. Leagues beyond the GM fluid. Amsoil ATF has inhibitors that prevent the swelling of the paper blocker rings, and is the only synthetic fluid you can use in the 97-00 mn6 transmissions.
