Converting to Synthetic ATF - 1st Impression

This morning I replaced 5 qts of dino ATF with AMSOIL Synthetic ATF. The first thing I noticed was how much quieter the car was. Transmission sounds all but disappeared. Transmission wasn't unusually noisy before but now it is unusally quiet. Went to Drug Store and used drive up, car was right next to brick wall and can hear car noise very well because of reflected sound, I could hear engine sounds that I never heard before but no tranny noise. Boy this is making a believer out of me. I plan to drain the tranny 3 more times, that should get me to a 93% Synthetic Blend. Transmission also shifts smoother.I'll keep you posted as I progress through the conversion. Did any of you who switched fron dino ATF to Synthetic Have similar experiences?
Be well!!!!
