Everything,


I did it at 1000-miles, its great, and dont worry about the warranty.

The Tranny shifts much easier, less tranny wine, over all very good.

I use syn in all my cars, the 32Valve Mustang loves the stuff.

It would be a good choice, also makes them run a little cooler too.[8D]


Ride On Ride Safe.......[8D]

Yes, they do. My mechanic says that a lot of people are doing it where I take my bike, because of the heat. He said that it made it run a little cooler. He knows more about the subject than I do, so I took his word for it. By the way, I have also heard the same thing from others.
