   Date: (none)

I just purchased Red Line fluid and will be putting it in this
weekend.  I have heard good things about this brand. I will let
you know if their is a difference.

I am also going to put Red Line Motor oil combined with Slick 50 in with
my oil change.  If anyone is interested I will post my findings with
this stuff too.

As far as the 2 quarts goes...  The guy at the auto parts shop told
me that 2 quarts is fine since you can't drain every drop out of the
transmission.

PS.  I just put in some Splitfire plugs and I AM getting more power
and gas mileage.  These are worth the money (approx $5 each).
