Just make sure you going in "knowing" what you want done - like going to any place knowledge is the key to getting the service you request and need.

Do a search on this. Oils have been discussed almost as much as the trannies. as for Syn oil most perfer Mobil 1. also its really not more expensive since you are able to go longer periods on it between oil changes.

ok just did the search and found my answer. Also It said I will need to change the type of filter to due to the longer period of the syn being used. Is there a special type can I jsut go to the parts store and buy it?

Thanx
