How many miles are on your Nitro? Do you plan to do a flush, or just drain and fill?

Good deal. What product did you use for your flush? How many miles do you plan to drive with the synthetic, before you change your oil again?

Are you seeing an increase in your gas mileage, and if so, how much? Thank you for the feedback. I am enjoying this much.
