I envy your timing Richard (coming up 2 years this summer) but I just changed mine in October.  If this 'reformulation' is confirmed, does anyone know when it occurred?  And does this mean change to something else next time, or drain the stuff now because I'm harming my trans?

Rich, Daryl, anyone?

Thanks,
