TW> You might want to try a 5-30 FULL Synthetic oil. It should fill up the

   I'll give that a shot.  I need to do an oil change soon.  I had put some Lucas   
   additive in about a month ago which seemed thick.  It didn't seem to make a   
   difference one way or the other.     
      
   The Lucas transmission additive works fantastic, though.  Clean and smooth   
   shifts on the rebuilt transmission.   
      
   I have never used synthetic oil in my car before, only the Harley.
