Having read the wonderous benefits of going synthetic I have decided to change out my gearbox oil. Just to make sure I know what I am doing I have a few questions. Do the various grades of synthetic correspond to the same grade of Dyno? Would there be any benefit in flushing out all the old dino-lube with some kind of "transmission flush" or is a simple "drain the old, dump in the new" just as good? Would those advocating flushing (if any) please also recommend a flusher? Thanks |
