I am currently running Pennzoils Synchromesh GL-4.....not sure what gear oil your car calls for, but I noticed a huge difference in how my gears shift. It is tons smoother then when it had just the ole' Hyundai GL-4.........Pennzoil also makes synthetic gear oils in various weights....just my .02

As long as it's safe for yellow metals it should be okay. I'm assuming it is, since it's GL-4 rated, not GL-5. I've heard that's good stuff.
I'm running a multirated GL-3/4/5 currently, but plan to switch to Royal Purple the next time I change.

Don't listen to anybody and use Pennzoil, mobil 1 crap.
The two oils that you should only use are Redline MT-90 or Amsoil GL-4 MTG Synthetic. I regret not putting this in earlier.

i went with royal purple, no regrets from it, smoother shifts and in winter the shifter never feels stiff, with the reguler stuff for the first few seconds till you went through the gears once the shifter felt really hard to push as if you were pushing it through thick heavy syrup,
amsoil, heard good stuff about the engine oil (even though i personally wouldnt never trust anything in my engine for that long) there gear oil, never heard anyone use it around here yet, or at least who ive talked to
