You don't want any of those they are all GL5 for limited slip differentials/dog engagement gearboxes which is too slippery for synchro gearboxes, you need a GL4 oil. I have heard of some people in the Honda community adding a small amount of friction modifier to their oil in and effort to shut the diff up but not so much that it causes premature where of the synchro's..

Id go with the Millers, i use the same in my Sadev. Buy the 5L so you have enough left for your next change/save money, should be dropping it every 1-2 track days depending on temps/mileage on track.
