Sorry, but I'd rather go to a retail shop than someone's basement. LOL!!!!!!

No, I didn't not confuse the two. The Valvoline Product Data Sheet shows the exact same specs for both the MTF Synchromesh and VPS and say the difference is one is conventional and the other is synthetic I went by that, until I saw your analysis and realized that their marketing people made a...

I found a speed shop in the area that does sell the Amsiol Synchromesh 5W30 MTF, so I will go there to buy it. The thing I find strange with their marketing is that I don't think they really check their dealers that well, the ones in the area are in parts of the neighboring town that you...

I didn't say anything that was inaccurate. I obtained the information straight from the horse's mouth, click on the product data sheet link. The cSt is 14.5. http://content.valvoline.com/pdf/vps_manual_transmission_fluid.pdf

The previous owner took the car back to Hyundai twice, both times they changed the MTF and sent him on his way saying the car was fine. When I bought the car with 32K miles on it, I changed the MTF out with Valvoline Synpower 5W30 Synthetic Motor Oil. The car has 62K miles on it now and it's...

I checked the viscosity of Pennzoil Synchromesh and Valvoline Synchromesh. Pennzoil is more in line with the Pentosin 75W80 that the Hyundai TSB calls for. As for the Valvoline Synchromesh, it's more like a 75W90, too thick for Hyundai's taste. So I think I will try the Pennzoil.

The bottle of Pennzoil Synchromesh says it's GL-3 but doesn't say anything about GL-4, but the Data Sheet doesn't say anything other that the GM & Chrysler requirements. If you read the paper that Richard Widman wrote, who actually did a chemical analysis of GL-4 MTF and 5W30 Motor oil, he said...

Hi MolaKule, I'm the person from the Genesis Coupe Forum that switched to using Synthetic 5W30 Motor Oil instead of the recommended GL-4. But, I didn't switch blindly. I've been working on motorcycles and cars for 35 years, I'm 47 now. The car is my daily driver, I commute 80 miles a day, in...
