Gee, I knew what it felt like before changing the oil, and after. Based on what it felt like from one end of the driveway to the other, I could tell right as soon as I shifted into reverse it was doing better, since it didn't feel like the rear end was shaking off the car.


I would guess since I lived with it for a week, I would have a better idea of the difference in the feel than you...

Let me guess - limited slip diff. The Mobil did not have the correct friction modifiers to make the LSD happy. Adding the friction modifiers to the Mobil wopuld have solved the problem same as changing the oil.
