Re: To overdrive or not
The big hint Andrew is if the User Manual mentions any minimum speed restrictions for having the overdrive on. If not, then all should be good.
Like most others, I would like to see the lock-up happen in 3rd when "cruising" (no acceleration) and then I would leave the overdrive off in normal city driving as the responsiveness is much better in 3rd than 4th.

Re: To overdrive or not
Hi Jason,
Do a test with one tank using OD off when under 70 and then another tank using OD on and see what the fuel consumption difference is.
I don't use OD in city traffic as the accelerator response is better.
Remember, with OD on in city traffic you need to push the accelerator further to get it to change down and this uses more fuel so what you save you would probably use when this happens.
