I observed that gear shifting is better with warmer transmission than shortly after start engine (especially in cold days).

great input. thanks. seems to me that the relevant point is that if we use 75w85 or 75w90-whatever we can get-for the manual transmission we have a winner.
now, about which brand, is up to each 1 to choose, depending of our experience or source.
