Pennzoil Synchromesh is what I was able to find locally at my AutoZone. Advance Auto and NAPA just sat there with retarded looks on their faces when I asked for it. *shakes head solemnly*

You might want to check with some of the dealers in your area and see what they recommend for cold weather enviorments. I would think that your OK but seeing your location it would be best to check.

Anyone ever try 0W-30?

In cold weather (freezing) I cannot change gear without double clutching for the first several kilometres.

This is with AC Delco Synchromesh.
