Thanks for the auto trans info, Joe. Here's another question. I recently
switched to a synthetic (Syntec 5w-50). Guy at the parts house (Chief) said
it was ok year round, but specifically good for our summers (Dallas). I
spend plenty of days in stop and go traffic with outside temperatures at or
around 100 degrees (humidity index makes it feel like 115 - no joke). They
had cases and cases of the stuff and said they sold a lot of it. Any
comments on this specific weight? Thanks a lot for everyone's input.

And finally, new motors have much tighter clearances and can maintain
good pressure with lighter oils. You will actually make more
horsepower with lighter oil. Stick to 10w30 UNLESS you live in the
Arizona desert!
Hope this helps. (I just asked the same questions about my 98!)
