Ok I just called O'Reillys and they are going to hold 15 Quarts of RP Oil and 3 K&N Oil Filters. 2 Bottles of RP Transmission fluid. And they have 75W and 90W RP Gear oil. Do I need to replace Transmission Filter?

damn im not sure which one i used lol. its best to change the filter its like changing an oil filter. you change that every time you change the oil right? lol. there is an o ring inside where the filter is and its a bitch to get out. also i had to undo my exhaust from the y pipe because the shift linkage bracket is in the way and there are two torx bolts on top and can only get to them by feel. i gave up cuz i think i stripped one so thats when i undid my exhaust. lol.

sounds good. gonna be a full day of changing fluids lol. easiest change will be your rear diff haha. when you change that.. get a small can of "the right stuff" its a silicone gasket maker, diy gasket so to speak, just put it on your diff cover and pray you can find your bolt holes lol.

This is not true at all. If you do not believe me call Mobil 1 or any other company. Now if you put in a high mileage oil it has a seal sweller in it, so once you put a high mileage oil in you can never go back.

Makes sense. I've heard the Conventional to Synthetic, never go back a few times. So I've always went by that. But from my tiny bit of expierience. I'm gonna think like what MDtahoe said.

He knows.....I showed him a link earlier. But once I do put syntec in a vehicle I wont ever go back. Syntec is way better. Why would I want to?
