Default Amsoil MTF SAE5W30

Good stuff, I had a chance today to test them out on my Y21, I got them for 7.8CAD at the amsoil dealer. It feels better than BG Synchroshift II IMHO, but I still have to try them on the track in the next few weeks.
I tried Redline MTL, Redline 10W30, Honda MTF, BG Synchroshift II before.
BG was the best out of the four, solved my 5th gear grind, but they are so overpriced, I got them at my local chrysler dealer for 21CAD/quart.
For those who want to use BG Synchroshift II or GM Synchromesh, this is an alternative product for half of the price.

I think 75W90 is gear oil weight, SAE means for motor oil? I think 5w30 motor oil is like 75w80 gear oil, can someone confirm this?
