Re: [T3] Forward creep in neutral


Your right about one thing... you CANT run synth in the engine without a
filter, it destroyed my engine rather quickly!

So... being biased somewhat against the stuff... I would be hesitant to run
it elsewhere... what would worry me in a Tranny is how the old worn Synchros
would handle the slicker and less viscious oil?  I know BMW came out with a
definate NO at one time to it... but others have found advantages to it.
Basically... if it aint broke, dont fix it! and it aint broke...

My 2 cents anyway,
