thats whats i'm thinking!

what is "good multi grade detergent mineral oil"? i'm guessing this is good old 10w-30? well, since the factory recommended 10w-30 which is still being used i will stick with it, i might bump it up to 10w-40, at least for the summer months...........the only leak i have is a valve cover leak, been there for years now......

on a side note, when i put in my tri-ax shifter on my t-5, i switch to Redline Synthetic ATF. i remember now that a month after i noticed fluid leaking from where the driveshaft enters the tranny, making a nice smokey drip on my x-pipe. i ended up replacing that seal (driveshaft seal?) anyway, was that a result of the synthetic switch?
