I agree with Spook as well, however I never made the move to synthetic. It just seems too expensive. I flush my system out myself, using the upper transmission cooler connection on the radiator, and use Mobil ATF from Costco. I get an entire case for about $13.00. Usually use about 9-10 quarts to make sure I get it all out.

I do it every 20k like clockwork. Takes me longer to clean-up when I am done....THAN to perform the actual maintenance.

I have 263k miles on my AW-71. Shifts are smooth and easy.

Question for Synthetic Users....is it worth extra cost? How often do you flush synthetic?
