okay just called castrols tech division, it seems they have now removed the red dye from syntrax so it is now a honey colour, the red stuff is perectly fine to use mixed with the honey stuff, the dye was removed because people confused it with auto trans fluid, don't know how though they taste totally different to me

cool story/end thread

Is that the cheapest place you found the Syntrax at?
I've been looking at $29 for 1L bottle, and noone sells it in 5L.

yeah was about $29 a litre from stupidcheap & you can only get it in 1 litre bottles (or 20 litre drums from wholesale suppliers)

i originally went shopping for motul gear 300 but that was $50 a litre from auto one so I thought stuff that

my gearshifts have never felt so good with the syntrax in there, i'd recommend it for 5speeds for sure
