    Guys, I have searched multiple Mustang forums and the general consensus is the Tremec 3650 manual transmission in my 2004 Mach 1 Mustang operates the best with Pennzoil Dexron III fluid.

    What is the general opinion of Quaker State Full Synthetic 5w-30? I just bought some for my wife's Subaru Tribeca. Walmart sells it for $20 a jug and I noticed there is a $10 mail in rebate from Quaker States website. $10 net is hard to beat. Decent synthetic?
