Vinnie runs Amsoil synthetic in his transaxle.  This was after running with
dino oil for a brief break in period. Supposedly that methodology helps
protect the synchros better during break in than running synthetic from
inital service.
Anyhow, no prolems tith service or use so far. When I asked when I had to
change it again, Ed said, "100k miles!"
