Re: Automotive myths

Some good myths here.
-The synthetic vs reg oil is an old one, and seriously false. Swap, mix, do whatever the hell you want with your oil.
-Trans fluid- the saying isen't to not change it, its don't flush it. You'll un-seat built up particles of dirt and crap and your trans goes boom. Seems to hold true too.
-I really like all the people that think higher octane =more power and cleaner combustion inside the engine. More gas mileage too! Even though the engine was only designed to use 87.
