I recommend Shaeffer's 7000 and Shaeffer's all trans oil, opps, you have a stick. I run the FS2500 bypass and have had some good oil tests after 10k miles. Shaeffer's also gives free oil tests. Under some testing its been shown that the 7000 oil doesn't sheer down like most. Joey, I think, runs it to. You might want to call him on that.

If you got that filter container off of Ebay then your almost there. Buy the two lines from FS2500 and a filter and your in business. I wonder what the reserve is? I pay 18 a gallon for the 7000. I would not go 10K without the bypass.

King, I didn't mean to be a smart ***. I've been doing oil tests for many years now. They also **** me off, they keep telling me I have high lead and iron so I had a special test done and it showed everything normal. I guess a normal test is a chemical analysis where the special 'test' I did they actually look under a microscope at the oil. I'm starting to think they are a waste of time but Shaeffers does it for free.

It's all good. I also had an oil test done last week and it said it was high in Iron and Lead.
My test showed 33 for iron (average was 17)
My test showed 13 for lead (average was 4)
I was two quarts low at the test. No fresh oil in sample. 3300 miles at test.
