   The Heat is about the same in my area. BUT the Humidity is typically   
   lower!! :-) :-)   
      
   RN>TW> many years. I have gone to a full synethic Penzoil for my Toyota   
   RN>TW> Truck(finally dumped my Piece of CRAP Chev S-10) and have High Miledge   
   RN>TW> Penzoil put in the Wifes Subaru with a little over 282,000 miles on it.   
      
   RN>I think GM has finally realized the error of their past ways -- 1957 Chevy B   
   RN>Air excepted -- what a beautiful car that was and still is, for those who st   
   RN>own one that runs.   
      
   In that era GM built soem very nice area and they lasted. Their Turbo   
   350 and 400 Auto trannies were almsot bullet proof. And the Chev Small   
   Block was a great piece of mastefull design.   
   Later though the Bean counters gained the upper hand and things like the   
   Turbo 200 Tranny was introduced. My Sister got TWO of those replaced in   
   her Buick Rivera under Warranty.   
   the Tranny in my Chev S-10 was specificly designes ONLY to last till the   
   Warranty Expired. Previously I had Two Mazda Frod Couriers and one   
   Mitisubshi/dodge D-50 pickups that were Great. Then being "Penny Wise   
   and Pound Foolish" I though I was saving a little over $2000 by buying   
   the Used(51,000 miles)Chev S-10 instead of a Used Toyota in the same   
   miledge range. BAD, BAD Move About 4 months after getting the Chev I   
   have to put more than $2000 into the Transmission. Adn it was just one   
   thing after another untill i dumped it with a little over 92,000 miles   
   on it and bought the Toyota with 81,000 miles. With then going 200,000   
   eaisly with reasonable PM I am set most likely for the rest of my   
   driving life.
