Nope. There is just one GMSFM.

There is only one way it comes. Doesn't come in different weights, grades, etc. You can get it without the friction modifier, but you don't want that one. You want the one that says FM.

It's great stuff but not worth $20/qt. in my book.

Go to www.acdelco.com and use their store locator to find AC Delco parts stores in your area. Search through the pages of listing and take note in the section where it says what AC Delco parts that particular store carries. Look for anything pertaining to transmission and give them a call.

Ask if they have AC Delco #10-4014 which is the same EXACT thing as GMSFM except for it has an AC Delco label and a white bottle vs. a GM label and a black bottle.

I found it locally for $7.99/qt.

I'm not saying he should spend $20 on something he can get for $8 somewhere else. I'm just saying that I would pay $20 / bottle if I couldn't find it cheaper. It only takes 2 bottles, lasts longer than engine oil, and improves the feel of the car more than expensive engine oil.

You only want the best for your S2000 and I'm in the same boat. If I could only find it at $20/qt., now that I've used it and felt the difference, I too would end up paying it.

I misunderstood you is all. I thought from your response that you were suggesting he go ahead at that price and I was merely pointing out an alternative route to possibly find it cheaper.

Either way r_duff get some of this stuff in your tranny asap. You won't regret it.
