Other than being sure that you use a "name" (i.e, reliable) brand of Dexron (not Type F or G, for a '90), I can only suggest that you'll get real improvement from using a (likewise) "name" brand of pure synthetic.

Flushing and changing to a synthetic is really easy -- you can do it wearing a white shirt, really, as long as you have the right things (hose, clamps, or alternatively IPD's special hose, plus a wrench). It's costly, of course -- you have to invest in 12 to 16 quarts (frankly, I use 20 when I change over in a newly bought car), but it's worth it for the peace of mind.

Any reason, other than the obvious cost, that you don't want to do it? Afraid of problems? Maybe I, and others here, can put your mind at ease? Let us know.

Happy New Year.
