So I bought 4 quarts of GM synchromesh Friction Modified from a GM dealer. Read some good reviews and I have a little notchyness in my 2008 Civic Si with K20Z3 motor with 6spd. I'm 2nd guessing my decision mainly b/c I found that the viscosity of it @ 40degC is lighter than the normal GM synchromesh which was unexpected.
Anyone have the real deal data sheet for the Friction modified stuff?
All I have is the AC delco friction modified sheet showing it's at 35 cSt @ 40degC and the reg non-FM stuff is at 41.6 cSt at 40degC. Doesn't state 100degC viscosity.

I know penzoil synchromesh is the same as the GM stuff so here's the details on it

Flashpoint temp of the Friction modified stuff says 305F.
Should I be worried to use this stuff during 25 minute HPDE tracks days?
Thinking I maybe should have just got Amsoil MTF 5W-30 full synthetic.. .
Thanks
