I am seriously considering using Amsoil or Mobil 1 synthetic ATF for my "new" '97 9000CSE with AT (14,500 miles). I have read numerous places that the AT is a real weak point. My goal is to make the trans last as close to forever as possible...80% of the 40-50,000 miles I'll be driving annually will be on New England interstates between Maine and Connecticut at 70-80 mph. The owners manual says "no synthetics." Is that for real. Any thoughts/experience/suggestions would be much appreciated. -- John Womer
