+1. I've been advised to used Pennzoil Syncromesh by very experienced Evo owners. The lowest price I've seen online is about $8.99 per quart. The link is: http://www.amazon.com/Pennzoil-Synch.../dp/B0002KL098

Sorry to hijack your thread...
Can you guys recommend any local shops in Houston where I can take my car to get my transmission/differential fluids changed...??? I could probably do the transmission fluid change on my own, but I'm not really comfortable doing the differential change (noob). So I would rather have it done by someone who knows how to do it properly. I know i could just take it to the dealer....but they're stupid if they think I'm gonna paid them $380-$400, plus have my warranty voided because I use a different fluid for the diff .
