Dakota-ers,
I hope I'm not rehashing a thrashed subject, but I've search
my archives and not found much info on synthetic fluids in
the Dak. thread. I remember reading a couple of messages
where owners put sythetic ATF and gear oil in, but can't
recall hearing a discussion on the pros and cons. Please
comment if you are a syn. ATF or gear oil user.
Does anyone know if using syn. ATF voids the factory
drivetrain warranty?
I also thought about putting in syn. gear oil in the rear, but I
couldn't come up with a good reason to crack open the
factory-sealed case (yet).
What brands/weights have ya'll used and what is your
seat-o-th'-pants conclusions?
I search the WWW for info on syn. lube but all I could find
was ad hype and expensive SAE articles (www.sae.org).
I already use Mobil 1 oil and would be inclined to go w/ Mobil
Syn. ATF, if I could find it. Pep Boys does not carry ANY
syn. ATF!
Thanks,
klm
