Fresh Blood

Switched the motor oil over to Shell Rotella 5W40 since it was $.50 cheaper a quart than the Amsoil. I’ve heard lots of good things about it, time to give it a try. I also changed the fluid in the 6 speed to Subaru Extra S. It was refreshing to see there wasn’t a lot of metal build up on the drain plug, at least compared to what I used to see on the 5 speed. I have Subaru LSD fluid ready to go in the rear but thats going to wait for when the rear control arms get swapped out.

The 5 speed started whining really bad so I picked up an almost complete 04 sti drivetrain (minus the front brembos).
