So by that your saying put in standard dino dex fluid and just let the build-up and crud stay where it is rather then get cleaned out? I dont understand your logic for that.

As for my suggestion, put in a cheap group 3 synthetic fluid like Valvoline's ATF 'full synthetic' fluid and run it for a shorter amount of time then specified (3 months) to get the build up cleaned out. Then switch to a true Full synthetic like Redline or Amsoil.
