Yes. It's worked good for me in the past, but I have the hairline crack in my trans. So I'm sure it's running low.

In Florida I hung out with a bunch of old school v8 guys. They always said mobile had the patent for synthetic oils and all synthetic oil was made based on that formula, other companies just added detergents,zinc, ect. I never looked into that, but I just listened to the guys with 1000hp cars

Well, apparently mobile 1 hasn't been Full synthetic for some time now... I guess you have to get the extended performance mobile 1 to get the good stuff.


Someone please correct me if im wrong

Mobil 1 doesn't make the correct oil for the trans. The trans requires a GL-4 fluid and all there gear oils are GL-5. I use to run it in my dsm tcase but never the trans.

I just swapped to Diaqueen from Amsoil mtg. Dude, its shifts soooo smooth, it feels like an auto trans.

Alan, if you ever decided to get rid of one of your many EVOs, let me know! Might be closing a deal on a BOSS 302 before I get to Italy.

I don't plan on selling anything right now. If anything I'm always looking to buy another.
