Re: [Amc-list] trans broken in

Yeah, I question the thinner oil too.
I'd go with Mobil synth, but in a spec rate, not the thinner stuff.
I run the 15W-50 in my non world class T-5 though.
So I guess I'm guilty too! [non world class T-5 specs gear lube]
It worked fine, I use past tense as I'm not about to try and drive it right now.
I returned to work on Tuesday and even light duty with a 10lb weight restriction is a lttle much right now.
I would not want to add shifting chores to my shoulder!
