More than likely i'll go with Royal Purple when I change it out. I've heard people going with Redline, Amsoil and Mobil 1 but haven't heard anybody mention GM Synchromesh. Why is that? I ask cause that's all you used to hear people going with when talking tranny fluid.

I never heard GM syncromesh as a good fluid. I like royal purple. But I think I'm the only one. Every one chooses amsoil I'm sure

I used Royal Purple once a year for my transmission fluid change on my 2001 C5 and the transmission outlasted the motor with daily driver duties for over five years. Car was auto and had seen plenty of abuse including manual shifting highway pulls and such. Royal Purple worked great for me. I'd use it again. I trust AMSOIL as well. Just my 2 cents.

Really? That's all anyone talked about before Royal Purple became big. Like the late 90's, early 2000's. Or maybe that was just my group that talked about it lol

I used GM Syncormesh in my Tremec. It worked great.

Are you guys talking about manual or auto Trans? Cuz I talked to Amsoil and they said they haven't came out with anything yet for the manual Trans on these cars

I've been running this in my car now nearly 20k miles, zero issues, defiantly improved shifting smoothness.

are you manual or auto? I have a manual and i hate the way the car drives for the first 10 minutes.. the oil keeps the gears from engaging smoothly..

Manual. The Amsoil does take some warming up.
