Re: RedLine MT-90 oil for manual transmission?
I find it interesting after thinking about the possibility of
corrosion happening in a transmission bath in gear oil, so I Googled it:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...e+transmission
and found nothing, but AMSOIL and other snake oils! Then they call the
brass sync rings "yellow Metal" I guess for litigious reasons. Total
Bullsh*t!

Re: RedLine MT-90 oil for manual transmission?
Neither Redline's MTL nor MT-90 contain any of the harsh sulphur-based
additives, both are great for the AX-5. MTL for really cold areas,
MT-90 for the rest of us. :)
