Anyone switched to Synthetic Lube in the 6MT?

It made a drastic change in my other car when I went to Synthetic. It became less notchy when it was cold. Shifts became more consistent from start up to operating temp.

Wonder if our cars would benefit. Anyone tried it yet?

I guess the results are mixed, some say the shifting gets notchier, some say smoother.

Makes me wonder if there's a difference in the brands (additive packages).

I'm not sure what the advantage here would be. My shifts are pretty smooth as it is.

I was thinking of changing to synthetic also, what brand did you use?

I haven't tried it yet. Probably will go with Amsoil or Redline.

I used Amsoil in my RX7, didn't help the shifting at all. Haven't tried it in the CL.
