Just as an update for this, i have had my local mechanic change the MT oil to Amsoil MTG 75W-90 synthetic GL-4 that i ordered direct from Amsoil's website.. So far i've noted the transmission makes less gear noise in the low gears (1 and 2), and a bit less resistance going from 1 to 2 when the oil is cold. It seems the syncro's are doing a better job as well, with the limited mileage i have put on it so far.
