About due for a change and thought I would try redline since it's esters based (true) sytheteic.


We use Redline MTL in the German cars and it really improves shifting, especially when cold and reduces noise. Some of the BMW V8 6 speeds are notorious for balky shifts and Redline straightens that out.

I'm a believer in their products. They make great diff oil for heavy applications too. I use their Shockproof 75W250 in my Cummins diffs and have not had any issues. Reduced gear noise in my current truck noticeably.


To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.
