10w30 is stock, is that Mobil 1 synthetic? You will want a synthetic oil at that mileage. Sounds like you have a T5, MERCON ATF is the stuff you want for your trans.

Yes it is Syntethic. So would be better to change to 10 W30? What brand do you recommend for tranny? Cause since the Valvoline is in it, I have the Problem!
