Finally got around to drain and fill. I’ve completed 2 of 5 planned, a gallon at a time as Jimmy prescribed. I’ve only driven it 30-40 miles, I’m sure it will take more D/Fs and more drive time for real improvements to fully take effect. It’s shifting better but it feels almost like the torque conve...

Thank you Jimmy and E. I'll try it this weekend

Roger that. More like a slow infusion of clean fluid over a period of time (or miles)?

He learned a painful lesson about not pulling over when the low coolant light went on, hence the need for the motor. He loves the car and wants to replace the motor. Anothe...

Thanks Neil. It's a 98, so no ETM. I'll check the intercooler and related ducting.
