Hay, I just recently bought a 97 cobra and noticed that it'll burn both tires for a sec then it just turns one. Just started happening. Was just wondering if changing the oil would make a difference.

Generally when the clutch packs are burning out in the rear you can et some more time out of them by NOT adding the friction modifier. Alot of the old tymers would leave out or add less additive to gain more "posi traction" but at the accelerated wear of the clutch packs.
