Mobil 1 all around

got around to replacing the tranny fluid with Mobil 1 synthetic (well, about half of it.) i'll be doing the "Lwin method" of doing several changes to get it all out, but it does seem to be even smoother than it already was. maybe just in my head?
i just recently put Mobil 1 engine oil in and Mobil 1 gear oil in the differentials. shouldn't Mobil send me a T-shirt or something?

BTW, i have a coupon for a free Mobil 1 CD case (with UPC) if anyone wants it. i already have a few CD cases.

First, I think it's the 'Larry III Method'. I'm not sure but I think that I posted it before him.
Second, Mobil 1 just gave me a baseball cap with their logo on it just for the oil.

PS: Appologies to you Lwin if you beat me to it.

$35 for a six-pack at Pepboys. you'll only get around 5 qts out when draining the pan.
sorry Larry, i just saw someone referring to the "Lwin method" a while back. for future reference, would it be the "Larry III method", or the "Larry 3rd method"? Lwin, you'd better call your lawyer...
