when to go synthetic?

[Ted Constantine]

I am pretty sure that I am waiting to 15k to switch to amsoil in the engine. My confusion #ad
is when to switch the axles, trans and transfer case. Is there a break in period for these or is additional protection best right from the beginning? I am at 8500 right now.

Ted, 10k to 15k on the engine is good. I switched to synthetics in my differentials at approx. 3k, my trans. and transfer case at approx. 7k. I also added the Mag-Hytec diff. cover and trans. pan at the same time I added the synthetics. You can switch to synthetics in the differentials, transmission and transfer case as soon as you want... the sooner the better too.

..... now I'm waiting for my ordered double deep Mag-Hytec trans. pan (to replace my Mag-Hytec deep trans. pan) to arrive. #ad
