I had them flush out the 80 wt. oil and put 10W30 in for no extra charge. After originally giving them the OK to change the gearbox oil, I kept thinking I should have told them to use 10W-30, but didn't ask them what they used until after the job was done. But it's all sorted out now. My mind is much more at ease when I shift gears now! > trusting to take your pride and joy to a quick lube!

I've read horror stories here about Jiffy Lube and similar operations. I should just go back to doing it myself... -jw -- 1984 900 S 128K mi.
