I am using their transmission fluid in my ZF6.
Synthetic Manual Synchromesh
Transmission Fluid (MTF)
SAE 5W-30
It's been in there about 15 months now, and no issues.
Shifts great.

Amsoil
I use Amsoil in everything I own. I started using it some years ago in my customer's Harleys. The Severe Gear oil is a cure for a bunch of Harley trans problems. I understand that off shore boat racers use it in their outdrives with none of the problems they had with other oils.

You can become a preferred customer. It allows you to purchase and receive price breaks and order through their web site. There is an anual membership fee. I have several cars and an F250 turbo diesel (fifteen quarts) so it really works well for me.

I use it in everything I own including my 02 Z06 (track car), 06 CTS-V daily driver, wife's 03 Chevy Trailblazer and my new GMC 5500 chassis Duramax Diesel RV (tow vehicle).

don't waste your money on overpriced fancy-named oils that will net most of us on here next to nothing.
unless you're an oval-track racer type, all you need is cheap dino oil, any old brand will do. at $12-14 bucks for 5 gals, its sensible. change it every 3-5,000 miles and you'll be a happy camper. if you really believe otherwise, you've been duped by the bs'ers.

I use it. Dino oil turns black in no time. I've got 6K miles on Amsoil and its still looks fresh. I don't have time to change it every 3K and I won't take it to a Lube shop. I expect it to last a year under normal use, so if you figure time saved and less changes I don't see it as a waste of money. My daughters truck who is off at college doesn't think about maintenance, when she comes homes for special events I always find the Amsoil is still clear enough to see through. If I did a regular oil change with dino I would be changing it every other trip home.

Don't forget to get the EAO oil filter, it is amongst the best out there. I use the 5W-40 European formula in my wife's hard driven C280. Zero oil consumption over an 11,000 oil change intreval. I am a proponent of the slightly thicker viscosity school of thought.
