Post Synthetic Trans Fluid

Hey Guys,
Do you think it's worth running the Mobil 1
tranny fluid in our transmissions?

I think it is a great idea. I switched the fluid in the transmission, transfer case, and the power steering. I think everything runs much smoother. I have 99K on my truck. Will be changing the front differential to Mobil 1 also. Mobil 1 does not make the fluid needed for the rear so I am using Amsoil there.
I am getting 1 to 2 mpg since the switch.

Cool

HI!... I'm running REDLINE synthetic tranny fluid in my 4R70-W and RELINE synthetic oil in my 9.75 rearend. I beleive that the rearend and tranny come with FORD's version of synthetic fluid already.
