use conventional(sp?) oil. put a magnet on the bottom of the pan at ur oil change pull off the pan and look at the residue tell me what u find

PS- how have you been servicing your transmission? What ATF do you use? Could you pull your transmission pan and see how it's doing? While your down there could you also check your muffler bearing? I've been worrying about mine, starting to make noise and I just serviced them 10K miles ago and used synthetic bearing grease. Thanks man for the heads up
