First Service Done...
Headed down to the dealership this morning to get the 1K service done. [Actually at 1200 miles, but anyway...] I went with SYN3 across the board and am very happy with the results. The transmission shifts MUCH better now. I took a sample of the engine oil and sent it off to Blackstone to let them take a peek at how things are breaking in. I'll post up the results when I get them.

I went with SYN3 on the Service Manager's recommendation. I know other oils may be better, but this is what they offered, and I didn't want to be the guy who brings his own eggs to Denny's and says "Can you scramble these for me?" They even washed it for me while it was there.

Out-the-door for $245.41

I use syn3 in the motor, Red Line Heavy Shock Proof in the tranny and MTL in the primary.

another unqualified comment from a backyard engineer. Prove me wrong. Show me some transmissions that have failed due to SYN3.
