I switched to Mobil 1 15w50 engine oil and Redline MT90 (MTL, don't recall which) in the trans two years ago. Neither has leaked a drop since. I can't say the Redline made much difference in shifting (a bit when cold maybe), but the Mobil definitely helped reduce lifter noise after sitting for a week or more. Of course, if you already have a slight leak with dino, it may get worse with synth... ======================== Shawn Wright Computer Systems Manager Shawnigan Lake School 250-743-6240 swright@sls.bc.ca |
