Quick question.

If changing, do I need to flush with something or can I just drain and replace filter?

Virtually ALL synthetic oils produced today are compatible with petroleum based oils.

synthetic is the way to go. I run amsoil 20w50 in engine and trans. Shifts smoother and runs much cooler. Would recommend.

Make sure you run a real synthetic, not that Make Believe stuff like Castrol etc.

synthetic blends are better than straight mineral, fully synthetic is better than both. Just drain and fill.
