GM Synchromesh Question
I went to pick up some Synchromesh today from the local GM dealer and I have two questions:
1. The weight of the oil wasn't on the bottle, is it standard? (75W85-90 ?)
2. It says semi-synthetic on the bottle, isn't there a non-synthetic option and is that not the better of the two?
Thanks
Devin

http://www.stealth316.com/2-pennzoil-synchromesh.htm Check that out. Basically, if not exactly, the same stuff from GM.

I picked some up today also. You need 3 quarts. It was 12 bucks a quart but I talked the parts guy down to 8.70. I replaced a transmission full of MT-90. The Redline felt good at first but it started to get hard to shift after about 4K miles. So far the SyncroMesh is very nice.

I posted on another thread about this...but no reply...
Ive heard that synchromesh isnt GL-4 rated...but our manual says we need a GL-4 fluid for the tranny. Im worried about warranty- im still stock.
But, if the dealership were to drain it, could they actually tell if I have synchromesh in the tranny as opposed to any GL-4? Is it a weird color or viscosity or something?

BG makes SynchroSHIFT. Pennzoil/GM makes SynchroMESH. The Pennzoil version is exactly the same as what you'd buy at a GM dealer except that it cost $4.99/qt at Autozone.
