I haven't looked too much into yet but was wondering which synthetic oil you prefer. Any good or bad comments on them?

I just wondered since it's getting close to time for my oil change and I got some pretty high miles. I thought about a tune-up and synthetic oil. Oh yeah, whats good for the trans? I got my ideas. Now I want to hear yours.

Im using Castrol 10W30, its great stuff, but as mentioned it tends to leak and also early morning shifting can be hard, Im think of going back to petroleum base. Yes it is possible!
