Thanks,
Trans was filled with Amsoil, I've used it without problems in the past but
had to ask for comments since I've been hearing so many stories about trans
leakage between the two lately. I resist using synthetic oil in the engine
but have in the trans without problems so I went ahead with the Amsoil.
Good point David about the dipsticks helping people notice the levels more.
Mike
