I like being able to downshift and hit the exhaust brake, I can roll off an interstate ramp without having to touch my brakes. But the stick is a huge pain in traffic, the clutch heats up with a lot of stop and go. I'm about done, especially since the new autos have 6 gears (or more) and have tow/haul modes to help with downshifting/braking.
So it sounds like what you all are saying is: get a bigger oil pan with a drain plug, drain the fluid (in the pan) probably more often than you should, and don't worry about "flushing" all the rest of the fluid out...even if there's some "old" fluid left in there, you're still changing most of it out for new. Plus run a big cooler and temp gauge. Does that sound right?
