Is synthetic tranny fluid good to buy into?

I am a second owner on a 98 Ex (153,000 miles) and as far as I know, the tranny fluid has never been changed :mad: . I plan to do it this weekend. What will a synthetic oil give me, that is different from conventional. Is it the same as motor oil?

I wouldn't use anything else. I use Amsoil.

Better gas mileage for one.

Is it the same as motor oil?

No.
