On your question about switching from regular to synthetic oil: there are a few threads about that on here. As I understand it, there was initially concern that switching to synthetic oil would cause the seals to dry out and leaks to form. "They say" that the oil companies added some sort of substance to the synthetic mixture to prevent this problem and e.g. Mobil stakes its reputation/product on it not being a problem: http://www.mobil1.com/USA-English/Mo...eage_Cars.aspx
From my own experience, I switched from the cheapest possible drugstore oil to Mobil 1, and didn't have any problems. Your mileage may vary (literally and metaphorically). |
They got $120 for the transmission flush.
There is a Mobile 1 High Mileage synthetic, but it appears to be only available in 10W-30. It specifically says it has conditioners for seals. I don't see that stated for the other Mobile 1 synthetics, but it may be just left unsaid.
