I wouldn't put too much into it either way, the sample is so statistically insignificant compared to the total population of ownership that you'd probably be better off listening to political pollsters and betting on President Hillary

Who is this poll directed at? I haven't heard of any primary transfer. Some have experienced transmission oil transfer....

I just checked @4200 which is 3200 after my 1000. I am running SYN3 in all 3 holes and I am down slightly in both the transmission and engine. I am doing a fluid change today I will report back.
