I'm onto the Traxon. It's been fine in my GC8 rally car (6 speed synchro), had good feedback from customers 5 and 6 speeds and it's in our muck around car (GC8 STi 5 speed doggy)

I guess at the end of the day any 75-90 full synthetic is going to be a good thing, the difference between $20/litre and $40/litre is minimal as long as they're both the same spec. The Traxon is priced right ($19.50/l) and good service and backup from the importer, so we went with them.

Doug changed my oil this arvo with the Traxon. I haven't had it hot yet but definately a noticabe improvement on cold shifts.
