transmission fluid
My friend and I were discussing that I should get full syn oil change for my transmission, but the price is a big difference. is that necessary. I am thinking about a blend syn. anyone has any idea. My car just went over 100k, 2001 type-s cl....can this be done at home or do I have to bring it to a service center like jiffy lube.....

see here,, mixing will NOT hurt anything,, if you don't want to do a nine qt flush,, just drain the 3 qts and add three qts of amsoil,, I do this every 20 k miles,, I'm at 110k mikes but on the 2nd trans (replaced at 89k). I also added a trans cooler at 25 k miles,,, tranny still failed,,, hopefully the new one will last to my target of 200k miles,, Syn oil is the best you can do.

the tranny's are failing mainly cause a lack of lubrication..
