Re: RedLine MT-90 oil for manual transmission?
 

Six years ago Daimler switch to the New Venture 3550 manual
transmission, using their own oil or equivalent:
http://www.pennzoil.com/products/gea...cro_fluid.html GL-5 is
still recommended for their differentials
Sulfur is a necessary evil of petroleum products, but if you want a
heavy duty lube choose GL-5 as Mercedes:

A light duty lube such as GL-3 would be a good choice for a mall poser,
as you.

Re: RedLine MT-90 oil for manual transmission?
 

Hi Bill:

Thanks for posting that info ... but it's outdated. Chrysler recommended
GL-3 in their earlier jeeps, then switched to GL-5 when that new spec came
out. Afterwards, they learned that the sulfur and sulfite additives in GL-5
lubes are highly corrosive to brass synchro rings, which are found in the AX
5/15 trannies.

Chrysler rescinded the GL-5 recommendation about 8 years ago, and has
switched back to GL-3. Check with your dealer service dept ... they will
verify it.

Does anybody know if Redline MT-90 (synthetic, GL-4) has sulfur or sulfite
additives?

Thanks!!

Re: RedLine MT-90 oil for manual transmission?
 

Hi Bill:

Pennzoil synchromesh is not a GL-5, nor is the Daimler/chrysler oil. GL-5
is great for differentials, as you said, because they have no soft yellow
metals. GL-3 fluids are better for manual trannies with brass synchros,
because it has so much less sulfur & sulfite additives in it.

Call your dealership service desk, they will verify it. Normal GL-5 dino
oil is quite harmful to the AX 5/15 trannies.
