I totally agree with something: That is a NICE CAR!
Sure, 5K with synthetic oil, even in your hard driven engine is not a "long" interval. It's not as if your engine is a true race engine. It's a street engine with mods, driven hard. 10K might be pushing it. For SURE - Next 5K UOA on RP, please do a UOA.
What happened to the tranny?
the 5R55S Auto Trans is not real strong and I lost one of the Servos and then the selonoid pack went, that caused excessive Band Wear, this all could have been due to the TCI Super Street Fighter 3500 Converter I put in may have been bad.
I have planned on doing the Oil Test next month. A friend did his a few months ago and we would like to compair results..
His was with Mobil 1

His sample showed high ammounts of Lead and Copper. An indication, according to Blackstone, of excess bearing wear.
