This is one thing I love about my wife's new Saturn - I can EOC safely, and it's an automagic.

The only PITA about it is that you have to anticipate the engine's restart cycle, because as soon as you touch the key, it's started, and you have to have it back into gear from neutral within about a second, or the engine is revving 3k RPM. Stupid Saturn ECM programming.

That car will coast for miles, too.

I can tell you, Couch, that using Dexron VI is expensive, but you should never need to change it again, once you're done. I bought it from Wally World, and haven't had a problem with it yet, but if I have to change her fluid again, it's probably going back to DexIII... I can usually get that stuff free from friends.
