I washed my car this morning but I'll end up washing it again tomorrow.
I'm driving 4 hours across the state today for my sister's high school graduation. Then in the morning I'm driving 3 hours across the middle of the state to get to a car show and pick up a new dealership sponsor for AZMC.
Then I'll treck the hour and a half home after the car show and BBQ that Chapman Mazda is hosting for us.

i got stuck w/ mobil1. it was either that or mag1
only thing advance or pepboys had. it was freakin 8.88 a qt.
it says this though about the mobil1: Not recommended for automatic, manual or semiautomatic transmissions for which engine oil or automatic transmission fluids are recommended
guess i'm fine then huh or should i take it back and look elsewhere?

I would deffinately use Royal purpal or Redline, smoother shifting and ride. I just changed mine to Royal purpal and love it. I got it at Shucks, only one of the Shucks in town carried it though so you will have to look around.
hm...i think pep boys had royal purple actually.... guess i'll take the mobil1 back and go pic up some royal purple. i saw it at pepboys but it was 9.99 a quart idk if it was 75W-90 or not though... i'll go check in an hour or so. gotta head that way anyway

Yah its worth it though. Are transmissions take about 2.5 quarts, but I put three in.(sssh) (shady) So either way buy 3 quarts. Also I don't know if you have changed your transmission fluid before but you will need a funnel and a long tube.

Royal Purpal actually doesn't label the weight on the bottel for some reason but I know it is a heavier weight which is good. Here is a pick of what the bottel looks like:
