Changing tranny fluid to synthetic
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your imput..this is the first time I have ever bought synthetics.was regular synthetic atf..looked like I overpaid big time. I agree with your assesment of careful workmanship. I will probably look for another shop for future work. They have had a turnover in help...seems it's hard to get good help. I went with regular 15-40 in engine.
