I'm continuing my "try them till you like one" experiment. So far I've had gone through the following in my 2011 GT with a Nov 2010 build date and 7,000 miles including about 2,000 miles of race track duty and an MGW shifter:
Factory pre-TSB oil: Worked fine in warm weather. Good shifting, not noisy. Became hard to shift when cold, and then notchy with an occasional grind until fully warm.
Redline MTL: worked fine, shifted "ok" cold, but got notchy with occasional grind as it warmed up. Great shifting when hot. Noisy when hot.
BMW MTF-LT2 (Pentosin): shifted perfect when cold. Got progressively noisier and notchier as it warmed up. Despite the clunky feeling in the shifter, it never ground once.
BG Synchro Shift II: lets call it the "provisional winner"; stiff shifting into 2nd (and only 2nd) when cold. After about four blocks it's excellent - it shifts best of all of the above at all temperatures and it's the quietest too.
Motul Gear 300 (in there now): we might have a tie for first; I don't have enough miles on it to know yet. Drove the fresh fill this morning from cold for the first time and I wasn't impressed. But it smoothed out toward the end of the drive and when I went out this afternoon, it performed every bit as well as BG SSII.
Local temperatures this week are between 0 and 6 degrees Celsius (say, 32 and 42 degrees F).
I wonder what I'll try next...
