Well I just finally switched my tranny oil from stock to Synchomesh. I heard that it was better and everything but never thought it would do much and I was too damned lazy to change it. It is a HUGE difference! Anyone running stockish type oil should definately switch. I was honestly amazed at the shift quality difference. Just figured i would post it up so people that are the same as me and too lazy or didnt believe it would change that much.... it does.

Now it is time to go to the track again and see if I can actually shift it at 25+ psi at 7.6k It wouldnt go into gear last time hence my pitiful 12.7 @ 118

 

You know where I can get it online, I've check all autozone and checkers here in AZ, but no luck.

 

I dont really know I used to manage a few Jiffy Lubes and the old managers all know me so they just let me have whatever I need and they stock the stuff. Almost any automotive place that sells Penzoil anything should have it or at least be able to get the stuff.

 

If there is an O'Reily's Autoparts near, a customer of mine bought a case from them the other day.

 

autozone has the penzoil sychromesh....they don't carry a lot of it though, because nobody ever gets it...so if you have other evos in town they probably scoopin it up, and they won't special order it for you. everytime i go to autozone and see some there, i buy it....i have like 6 quarts sittin around now.

also, you can get it from GM but its more expensive(like 3 more bucks a bottle)

 

I tried autozone, they said they don't carry it.

 

There has to be a place online, I tried searching on yahoo and google but found nothing.

 

Your local Chevy dealership is the only reliable place to get the stuff. I couldn't find it anywhere else.

 

then they don't know what they're talking about.

if you want to pay me, ill sell you mine and ship it, LOL

 

How about BG Syncroshift from RRE?

 

I got it from Lancershop.com and price wasn't bad..

 

I heard with this fluid u have to cahnge it every 5k bc it wears out the syncros bc its too thin! Is this true? This is why im still running the stock fluids but would like to change to something better w/o having to do it constantly!

 

why are people using synchromesh when redline makes a gl4 75-90 synthetic? synthetic = free horsepower.

 

I was told by multiple reputable sources that synchromesh will work bad @ss.. these sources also build trannies all day everyday (Including mine ). They were right... And as for the free horsepower... I dont think our trannies like synthetic oil (Too slippery?) but even if it did synchomesh is pretty lightweight would I suppose should make it spin easier but how much power are you going to gain? Come on now... take a crap before you race and it is probably the same HP equivelent in most cases.

 

I found a place to buy it, 3qrt is enough right?
