Shifting WILL be smoother with fresh oil, and it degrades so slowly that it's hard to feel until you finally realize that you've missed 3 shifts "this week".
But it'll be smoother with fresh dino too.
I suppose I'm not experiencing any shifting improvement due to changing the Castrol GTX after less than 1400 miles, it still 'looked' OK too.

I forgot to say thanks for your personal oil study. Seems the big numbers in your report are the viscosity changes.
