I have used the mobile 1 in both of mine and noticed an improved shift and better feel. I have been running it for over 30K in the graphite and mostly it goes out to the track and the Dragon and it still feels good.

I love the other 'premium' fluids, just figured I would use the tried and true and have been happy.

Edit: I bought the graphite with under 30K and did it as soon as I bought it and it still felt much better. Don't wait on mileage, change it now and enjoy the better feel...
