Reasons why you should use synthetic in both.......

Your '98 engine came from the factory with synthetic in it. Not sure about
the transaxle, but I don't think so. 'Natural' or dino-oil as some call
it, get their wide viscosity ranges from the addition of polymers. These
tend to break down at high tempteratures. A synthetic will have a higher
flash-point for a given viscosity range vis-a-vis the dino. They also
flow better at lower temperatures which, at start-up, is when one can do
the most damage/wear to an engine. Now, for the AT, a good synthetic will
help there, also - Mobil 1 ATF, for example. Specially, if you're going
to do any modification, then switch to synthetic and change it frequently -
every year, if possible. This is the regimen that JJ, who posts regularly
on this board, has done with his Aero that is modified to 250 hp and he
now has way over 100k, while never having had to pull the transaxle.
