You're going to get people argue on both sides of the fence as to whether or not you should use RP, but I personally switched to RP Syncromax @ 50K and it made a huge difference. I also added a MGW Shifter @ 60K which helped as well. I have 80K now and it still shifts great.

RP is great but after a while it must break down or something, my tranny was quiet and smooth for the first 1000 or so miles then it always went back to its standard 3650 noises and such.

however mobil1 didnt seem to cure any of those issues that the RP covered up for a short time so i dunno. i will be putting RP in my 03 Cobra whenever i get a free weekend.

a little under 3.5 quarts i believe
