Last week, I needed some of the Amsoil syncromesh lube for my ZF6. It was last Saturday, so I emailed the guy who was closest and we arranged to meet on Sunday!
If you need Amsoil in a hurry, live near me, and our own Amsoil guy, RickAnthony isn't available, check out Danny Delp. http://www.lubedealer.com/dandelp/home.aspx Great guy, I highly recommend him if you are in my area. |

Hmm. I should give that a shot.
The pennzoil/GM synchromesh has always seemed a little thin for it and louder than the BMW oil was. Have you tried either of those to compare to? |

I have used the GM, and up until I drained it, the BMW fill. I just wanted to test the Amsoil. I am curious how it feels.
It is a 10-30 weight, but it is designed as a gear oil, not a motor oil. |

I think I read the synchromesh is a 5-30, so it would be a bit thicker when its cold. The synchromesh just seems to thin when hot. Maybe I'll mix it 50/50 with castrol tws next time, lol.

I filled with the Amsoil syncromesh fluid:
http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product ... transmission-fluid-5w-30/ It's price point is about the same as the Castrol TWS some have been using, but the oil is NICE. The box is quite, it shifts so very smooth... Butter like. I am VERY impressed with the quality of the stuff. I also bought this pump... It kicks ass too!! So much easier to fill the gear box with this, and its better made than that junky orange thing. http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product ... ssories/bottle-hand-pump/ I am slowly becoming an Amsoil convert. |
