Switched to synthetics

I finally had the time to switch to synthetics all around. I used Mobil 1 for the engine and Valvoline 75-90W synthetic gear oil for the the diffs and T-case and MT-90 for the tranny. Here are some pics:

Yup. I was just bored today so might as well do something. This is also in preparation to our upcoming trip to San Diego in June.

Probably when we get back from Japan. As of now, we're going to rent out our house while I'm stationed in Japan for three years. I'll be storing my rig in L.A. or San Diego while we're gone (Navy will be paying for it). My wife is joking how I'm going to miss the runner but I told her I'll buy one of those turbodiesel Hilux when we arrive in Japan to make up for it hahaha.

Yup. Wash, clay bar and wax it yesterday. Next is prepping the Accord prior to selling it.
