thats what i thought at first. I got confused because RP's website lists them seperately. I've had the 75w90 in my car for over a year now. I was befuddled for nothing it seems lol
what the hell is this synchromax then?

Do they mean automatic transmission oil? Which, of course, wouldn't use gear oil...
