    cold shifting 1-2, 2010 has thin trans oil

    Hi I got a 07 speed 3 and have the hard shifting when cold. It is all stock. What transmission oil is everyone using? I've been using Mobil-1 synthetic, but might change it. I heard the 2010's speed3's will have a thinner oil for the transmission to improve cold shifting.
