What about amsoil? I noticed 2nd gear grind when the car is not warm up compare to factory oil. Amsoil seems fine for track use and I am not complaining. But I have to warm up enough to drive out to street.
Synchro is not working well with cold amsoil in my experience.

The only Synolec I see is a chain lube?
This is the syn gear oil in 75-90

Matt do you have the specific part/model? I'm not an oil engineering and there are Way too many choices on their website...

+1 for Millers. We use it on our rally dog boxes and they are by far the best. Was excited to see they were highly recommended by the Porsche crowd. I'll try LE stuff as well per Matt at Guards. Change fluid often and you should be good.

Gear oil isn't hygroscopic per say but best practice is to decant to a smaller clean container that can be sealed and will minimise the air gap to near zero. Also store in a cool, darkened area out of direct sunlight and peak min/max temps for the longest shelf life- If you have a win cellar, thats perfect and a good talking point

happy Delvac user...treat carefully/slow when cold(say first 5mins) then it's sublime when up-to-temp./ on-track

Edit: looks like they rebranded it as Monolec. It's still 9920 but it now called Monolec syn.
Yes, Miller blend excellent oils. A number of my UK customers have been using it long before we could get it here in the States. Some of the big name tuners over there that you read about in Total 911 and 911&Porsche World won't put anything else in their clients' cars.
