Sorry, you're wrong. RTFM! Why post if you don't know the answer? Might wanna take a look at the specs book, an owners manual, or the factory shop manual. Porsche style synchros NEED GL5. NO ADDITIVES, ESPECIALLY MoSO2! VW style (like American and Japanese cars) have brass synchros and cannot use GL5.

5.5 pints, BTW. The Cap'n
