Best Oil?
Well since im getting a new tranny and engine put in my baby i want to do it right. Whats the best motor oil out there? My dad wants me to get the Castrol Syntec, but seems like a bunch of people in this forum like the Mobil 1. Is there much of a difference, and i already bought the Mobil 1 fully synthetic ATF so i dont know if thats good or not either, and what about those oil additives that stp and such makes?

STP are usually good from what I remember. never heard anythign negative.
I'd say use Mobil 1, although i know that our trannies don't respond well to some synthetic ATF so you may not want to put that in till either JR or Willwren pops in on this...

The transmission only has about 8k miles on it so its pretty much new in my eyes so hopefully the synthetic ATF wont hurt it. And how often should i change my oil if im using fully synthetic oil?
