My trans was rebuilt/improved by Bill B. and he recommended Castrol 10w-60 synthetic available at the BMW dealerships. Naturally this comes in liter bottles. Takes about 2.2 quarts...

Been very pleased with the shifting using Amsoil Synchromesh, but it does leak a little bit out of the shifter rod seal. Not sure if the other oil would do that or not.

I'm also using this lube in a newer Mustang.
