I got some questions regarding automatic and manual transmission fluid. When I had my Cobra I was debating on whether or not I wanted to switch the engine, rear end and transmission over to full synthetic fluids but I never got to ask that due to selling it. now I want to ask the same for my new car the Civic, I know its not a Mustang but I assume the general principles are the same, will it leak through the seals?, is it just a dumb idea in general?, what is a reliable brand?. any help is much appreciated. It has about 27,000 kms on her so far and is already running Castrol Syntec in the motor.

Thanks

I don't think it would hurt. you don't have many KM's on it yet.

I am going to be using AMSOIL, threw out my whole car. but there is also mobil 1, royal purple.

I read some where that Castrol Syntec is not actually a synthetic oil.

 

Ill be getting Royal Purple put in her next service cause
I heard the same as you. but Ive heard exceptional things about Amsoil, can you get it in Canada?

 

yes you can.
just call them up.
i bought the "plan" for 10.00 and it gets you 20%* off your orders.

*=i think it is 20%. i know i saved the 10.00 in the first order i purchased.

 

sweet tanks.

 

anybody else?

 

IMO, it has 27,000km, leave it alone. I'd think about changing it around 100,000
