What is the diffence b/w them besides BG being about $15/bottle and Pennzoil being about $5/bottle???? any one know


BG SYNCHROSHIFT and Pennzoil Sychromesh

 

I'm sure they're pretty similar. I've heard great things about both. When it came time to changing my fluids i went with the Pennzoil Synchromesh because I can get it easily from teh local parts store and it's in my price range.


I run it in both of my cars: a '92 GSX, and a '03 VW Jetta Wolfsburg. It eliminated all of the grind issues I had in the VW after I put in my diesel geek Short Shifter, and VASTLY improved the shifting in my GSX.

My cohort puts it in his evo and it works in there great.


just for ease of use/ getting a hold of/ price i'd go with the Pennzoil.

 

either one they both are good

 

i recently changed my tranny fluid with penzoil syncromesh and i love it its inexspensive and it helped minimize my 5th gear syncro grind

 

Get the Pennzoil. you won't regrete it. I like it. TRE recommands the Pennzoil also.

 

It(penzoil) kinda sucks in the winter time when I had it in my 00 si. But it was pretty good in the summer time. I don't think i'm going to try it in my Evo because I don't want to mess it up since it gets pretty cold here in MN.

 

so everyone thinks the pennzoil is good??? how about ppl that went from penzoil to bg

 

why don't you call the companies and find out? i doubt anyone here can honestly tell you the specific chemical differences.

 

almost the same thing. GM syncromesh and penzoil are the same thing exactly. BG does the same thing but its expensive.

you won't notice any difference if you are trying to get to that point.

 

You are confusing Pennzoil Synchromesh with the GM version (which is exactly the same). BG is a completely different product

 

is your post refering to me?

if so you might want to re-read it again.

there are three different kinds

GM syncromesh
Penzoil syncromesh
BG Syncroshift

The top 2 are the same and there is one 3rd kind that I cant remember that is the same comes in green bottle.


the last one ALMOST the same

 

No sorry. My post referred to the original question. About once a week on this site, I see a post where someone thinks Pennzoil Synchromesh and BG Synchoshift are the same thing. My point was that they are not.

 

^^^^ Quaker State

 

Yea...thats wat i thought....whats the diff b/w BG synchroshift and the pennzoil sychromesh

 

I had a $7000 experience with Pennzoil. I use BG... Lokey Mitsu in Clearwater, FL sells it for $9.XX per bottle.
