Subject:      Tranny oil - success
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

Well, I got around to putting in new transmission oil yesterday.  I
drained the old (brownish in color) and cleaned off my drain plug (it had
accumulated quite a collection of metal fragments).


I then opened the bottles of redline MT90 and saw pink.  I was immediately
worried but then realized that redline is synthetic and not dino oil.  So
I dumped it into my tranny (ok, I actually pumped it in with a fluid pump
and it worked great).  I used about 4 quarts in the tranny and about 1/5
of a quart on the ground (oops!).


I then drove around after buttoning everything back up.  My van shifted so
wonderfully!  I couldn't believe I was driving the same van.  I wish I had
done this earlier.


Just thought I'd post my success.
