hi guys would like to get a full oil service of trany and have been recommended by wholesale automatic trans to use castrol trans max z (full synthetic ) been quoted $390-$410 (not by them i am on the gold coast).. then was just quoted $185 from nissan for a semi syn full service.... (i understand the full syn oil is more exp)
Is it worth going to the full syn..
i will be doing lots of heavy towing..

any thoughts guys.
thx

Definitely go full synthetic mate - but that price is off the charts - just had mine done, and from memory the oil and change through my mechanic was around $120. About double that for dropping off the pan and replacing the filter and doing a service kit.

He's on the south side of brissy, so PM me if you want his details.
