But, just FYI.

thanks! i'm way too lazy to go digging through the manual. i'm pretty sure i read somewhere on the XOC forum, that the amsoil fluid reduces the noise, unless that was a reference to the transaxle fluid, can't remember now...
EDIT: is there a break-in cycle for a transmission before you can switch to synthetic lube?
