Your welcome, I hope it will be of some use. As for Synthetic oils, I know a
lot of people use them with improved results. I have never used them, but I
do know they do not break down as fast and offer less resistance. They do
still get dirty though, so I don't know if they have improved tranny
filters like they do engine filters or not. Might be worth checking into. If
you do want to change fluid after break-in, maybe use the synthetic then!?
I'm not really sure you would have to do it though, I never have. Like the
other message from Rick, be sure to flush the lines and the old cooler if
you are leaving it hooked up.
