I use amsoil 20-50 in the crankcase and primary,amsoil 75-90 in the tranny.I noticed a big difference in the tranny right away.I have thought about the availabilaty of amsoil on the road but figured I could add a good syn if I had too.I havent used a quart of oil between changes, every 5000 miles

I always heard the car that hit the lawyer would have impacts on the front and rear bumpers
