I'm making the switch to synthetics (transfer and engine) today in search of better gas mileage. :ugh: I'm a bit nervous due to rumors about dissenting gaskets and such. 85,000 on the ticker...
Wish me luck.

I run dino in the LC. The sump is huge (comparatively) and I change every 3-5k so the major benefit of syth, longer life in the engine between changes, doesn't really apply. Esp. for the cost/benefit with 8 quarts every 3-5k
doug(who still cant come to terms with 40.00+ for 8 quarts of oil)(and still want to be anal and change it at 3000 miles)
Dito, I wish is would of known of the retainer so I wouldn't of have to drop the trany twice.-B-
A footnote:
Often the "rear main seal" oil leak is in fact the seal retainer to upper oil pan rail seeping. If one does this job it is prudent to pull and reseal the retainer as well as the seal as the retainer is often the origin of the leak...............
