    Why do you say that grade 5 synthetics don't last as long as grade 4? I was under the impression they are superior in all areas.

    Just what I read from the oil guy. But that being said some grade 4 syn oils can go 100k miles in semi's. I change my mobile 1 every 5k :rofl:

    Jus put XT-M5 into the trans. Drove it around for a few min on the streets and it definitely shifts much better. A positive engagement through the shifter and the gears drop right in - the synchros are feeling much better. Glad I did this!

    I've run Redline on all my Toyota manual transmissions and haven't looked back. Definitely made shifting smoother.
