Default Pennzoil syncro mesh vs. Genuine Honda tranny oil. What would you recommend.

I have been using Honda tranny oil in my tranny, but a friend told me about Pennzoil syncro mesh, he said it works really good. Have any of you heard anything about it. Would you use it. I know some of you are going to say "just use regular motor oil in your tranny, it will work", but I'm not putting just anything in my tranny. They cost too much to replace. By the way I have a GSR tranny with LSD if it helps. Thanks.

i think that if your tranny is working fine right now then just stick with the OEM stuff.

I would use the GM syncromesh, it will help prevent/fix problems before they even appear
