Looks like I need to make an order.
The synthetic Trany fluid in particular sounds like a great idea.
Does Mobil-1 make a 10W-40/50 engine oil?
If not which grade should I use?
Thanks Peter, haasman, et.all

P.S. What if I paid the usual $20.00 for a made In Tiwan FRAM sitting in my garage, should I return It?
