My mechanic switched me over to a heavy-duty synthetic truck oil. Says it is a lot better for the higher mileage cars. But now shifting into 2nd is a nightmare when cold and double-clutching is required until it warms up.
Now in reference to the video...
All these little DOs and DONTs are for the idiots that are mysteriously breaking their cars and don't know why. Other than that, cars are designed to handle the abuse of a typical driver. You aren't going to break your ******* transmission by placing your hand on the gear shifter! I don't do this because I don't find it necessary to rest my hand there. I use it to shift and that's it. But you won't break your ****. Too many super-paranoid people, I say!
