RED LINE MT-90 is a synthetic manual transmission gear oil that provides outstanding protection for manual transmissions. Perfect for vehicles with notoriously difficult transmissions, such as certain Nissan, Toyota, and Mazda cars, RED LINE’s MT-90 gear oil solves the problem of hard gear shifting and allows for a smoother manual driving experience, even in cold conditions. This is the perfect 75W-90 gear oil for drivers seeking a solution to a difficult transmission that also protects and prolongs the lifespan of their gearbox synchronizers. https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/icon/redline/red-line-mt90-75w-90-gl4-synthetic-manual-gear-oil-1-us-quart-0946-litre-2.jpg

This 70W80 GL-4 Gear Oil (SAE 5W30/10W30 engine oil viscosity) is designed for use in manual transmissions and transaxles. Provides excellent protection of gears and synchronizers and its balanced slipperiness provides a perfect coefficient of friction, allowing easier shifting. Popular in many BMW transmissions and in most Honda and Acura transaxle applications. High performance gear protection giving longer synchro life and eliminating notchy shifting, even when cold. Satisifies the gear oil viscosity requirements of 75W, 80W and motor oil viscosities of SAE 40, 10W40, and 15W40. Recommended for GL-1, GL-3, and GL-4 applications, as well as where most special synchromesh fluids are specified. Appropriate coefficient of friction for most manual transmission synchronizers (other's synthetic gear oils are often too slippery for proper synchro engagement).

Car Service Packs

I've read about some of us using Redline instead of straight weight 30 non detergent oil in our transmission. I'll assume most of the transmissions have the overdrive. OK, I just went out to the garage and pulled my old blue binder factory service manual down off the shelf.

It provides excellent protection to gears and improves the life of synchro rings. It has a perfect coefficient of friction to allow easier and faster gear changes even when cold. Under this hypothesis, any given brand of oil would allow the tranny to work just the same as another, so long as the viscocity of both fluids are kept equal. https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/icon/redline/red-line-mt90-75w-90-gl4-synthetic-manual-gear-oil-1-us-gallon-378-litres-1.jpghttps://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/medium/redline/red-line-mt90-75w-90-gl4-synthetic-manual-gear-oil-1-us-gallon-378-litres-1.jpg
