And by the way: does synthetic transmission fluid improve gas mileage, and if yes then by how much? > >Could this be the Slick 50 of the coolant industry ? > >If these properties were that beneficial, then wouldn't the coolant >manufacturers and car manufacturers specify it as a required ingredient >in coolants ?
