    ATF Change

    I've got a 94' Mustang GT with AODE transmission. I picked it up last year, and I'm wanting to change the ATF. Question is, what type of fluid should I use if I don't know what's in the transmission right now (synth vs non-synth). TIA!

    Reasons to NOT Use Synthetic?

    I bought a 94 Mustang, 302HO. 185000 miles. Near as I can tell, the only upgrades include a cold air intake, AOD shift kit, and 3:50 rear. The PO said to NEVER put synthetic oil in it. I’m just wondering if there would be any reason for this?

    ATF Change with Limited Service History

    2006 Honda Civic 1.8L ~95,000mi I've owned the car since somewhere around 35,000mi. I bought it Certified in 2009. I've just realized what a bad car owner I am (not by intention). I'm really good at regular maintenance, but I've never changed ATF because: 1) I had ATF changes/flushes on...

    Reduce Oil Burning

    Short story is my car started burning oil around 100K. There are absolutely zero drips in the garage - so I'm pretty positive it's burning. I have scoured the internet looking for cause/resolution for burning oil. The popular opinion seems to be carbon deposits on the piston drain-back holes...
