I moved this to Engine and Technical Discussion as it is not a service issue.

I would just run Amsoil Synchromesh like many of us have. The results have been excellent and proven across the board. No real reason not to use it.

From Powertrain Products with MZ4 transaxle:

Fluid type: BOT 0303-mod (low viscosity oil)
Fluid capacity: 1.9L (2.0 qt)

From 1.4 turbo with manual 6 speed (M32) transmission warning! - Page 4 - Chevy Sonic Owners Forum

It seems BOT-0303 is a 70w MTF but GM specifies an 80w over in Europe? Not entirely certain... One should consider that not using GM/Delco spec fluid could void the warranty.
