It's all I use.. Never had a problem in the Mid-Atlantic cold, don't know why it would be any different in the North East..

thats stuff is fine, I just cheap ATF this year. But it was fine last spring, then put syncromesh, and when it was getting cold it, it was really notchey till to dove a few miles and it warmed up. ATF is better anyway.

I do not see any issues using it. I use Synchromesh and I drove it the past 2 weeks in this cold *** weather w/o issues. Leather seats on the other hand.....
