People who have flushed dino ATF with syn. Thoughts?

I have a 99 auto with 60k miles on it, it has had two flushes done on it with the regular stealership method. Im considering seriously doing a full flush with some syn (probably amsoil, read a lot of good things about it). I ready the sticky about this, but havn't seen that much talk about pricing on something like this. Im probably not going to drop the pan, just perform the method lined out in the 'faq' section. Someone mentioned using 2 boxes (24 quarts) of amsoil? Is that overkill? That's gonna be pretty expensive... would it be feasible to do the flush with some cheaper syn, then do the fill with the amsoil? That's about the only other thing I can think of to knock the price down a little bit... Give me your input, thanks org.

10 qts is sufficient if you do it yourself as per the faq.

While I'd love to sell you two full cases of ATF, it's way more than you need. You should be able to get by with one case as long as you don't waste a lot in the procedure.

If you're interested in discounted pricing on Amsoil, shoot me a PM.
