Default Redline Oil's Powerpack synthenic Worth it?? need help

i've hit the 30k about 2k miles ago, i feel that i can change out my tranny oils with no problem hah and dont really feel like paying $$ for labor for subaru or any other place to do this easy change. i have read the diy's and opinions on which oil to go with and came across a few thread saying some brand's dont go dont mix well with sti tranny being synthetic and all.

jsc speed has a package deal thats around the 100 $$ mark. just wanted to get some info on someone's knowledge if anyone's ever used redline's oil. the sti runs great as the first day i picked her up, i just feel she desires to be refresh alittle like the manual says lol btw if not that brand is there anything else that would be great. thnx

Personally, I would just stick with plain valvoline dino gear oil. I have, and with 34k miles my trans still shifts great in any temp. Even fresh dino oil will make a difference in the feel of the shifting, probably not like synthetic but after all I have read I would rather be safe than sorry and just stick with dino oil and change it more often. It's up to you though.
