You can get it from a dealer, but I don't know if that is the cheapest place or not.

Go to Autozone and buy Pennzoil Synchromesh. Its the same thing as GM synchromesh. Even says so on the bottle.

GM Synchromesh: $10 a bottle
Pennzoil Synchromesh: $21 for 4 bottles

:beer:

edit: nevermind. old thread. just remember for next time, its a lot cheaper.

I do not think the Pennzoil Synchromesh is identical to GM's. In fact, GM does not publicize the ingredients of their formula. It must be a deep, dark secret so Pennzoil's cannot be the same. Coke / Pepsi??? I say stick with a proven winner and get GM's.

Because I'm basically a GM guy that still owns a pair of Camaros, I'll share what I know about where to get it:

Enter the following part number: 12345349

You will find it sells for $5.94 per quart. Far less than $10+ at the dealerships.

Jesus I knew you GM guys were good for something, and now we know what that something is haha. Thanks Willie you da man.

I married into a GM family. My father-in-law is a 30-year GM guy. Funny how I sold my Cougar and bought my first new car, an '83 Camaro one month before I picked up my future wife for our first date at her parent's house. I can only imagine what would have happened if I picked her up in my Cougar. I did not know about her family's GM lineage at that time. Maybe we wouldn't have married????

Conversely, can you imagine what it was like showing my father-in-law my Lightning when I bought it about two years ago, then my Cobra six months ago? Get this: My brother-in-law (who still works for GM in Michigan) was visiting my in-laws here in Arizona last Christmas. I bought the Cobra while he was here. He was the first person to see it when I drove home with it. When I popped the hood, you should have seen his jaw drop.... it was cool.

BTW, my first car was a '69 Mach I and my second was a '70 Boss 302.
