Thanks again for the input... I'll at least drain and refill a few times, even if I don't do a full flush. And I will be going with the 5-40 Synth...

I'll have to check into that tranny flush... I just don't think I want to deal with doing it myself. ...I'll have kitty litter all over the garage floor for weeks after, no doubt...

my head is spinning and I could use some help! I've been reading the forum for days -- searching on every combination I could think of to educate myself regarding oil for my wife's car. Here's the dilemma: - always felt 3000 mile OCIs with a decent Dino oil was more than fine for NA-engines...
