My point is, the only reason I'm seeing people use friction modifier is because people on the CEG recommended it.

Per Terry. Synth is good for helping 'cold shift' issues but does nothing to help the syncros which need friction to work, hence the friction mod additive.

From other posts from ppl that have cold shift problems in colder climates with it. That would be us in MI. I'm sticking with tried and true Mobil 1. Easy to find, low cost and haven't heard of any issues/ill effects with it.
