I would like to go from dino to synthetic ATF. Is the procedure the same for flushing the dino but with synthetic? Is there a thorough procedural version similar to the oil flush detailed by Paul S.?








BTW Paul S.- there is an Amsoil remote oil filter relocation kit on eBay, last I checked it was 70 bucks for the whole kit! Whish I had waited before I got the perma-cool and tiawan crap, doh.
I'm still fiddling with the hoses and fittings !#$^%!#$...

since synthetic ATF is so expensive, most people suggest first flushing it with dino, running it for a few dozen miles or so, and then flushing out the dino with synthetic. that way, the old cruddy dino won't contaminate the new synthetic stuff. so for the first flush, use whatever cheapo stuff you can get.
