i switched to redline a few months back hoping that it would improve cold winter starts when going to work. but i see absolutely no difference between this winter and the last. stick with nissan grade... i don't think anything else is going to improve anything... and then u have the added fright of something possibly going wrong.

I put this http://www.redlineoil.com/products_g...61&subcatID=20 in my FJR1300 and K1200LTC rear drives. Nice and smooth and quiet. After 5000 miles checked the magnetic plug. Nada, nothing, zippo. Virtually no evidence of metal/metal contact. This is for the diff only. For the tranny, you should use the MTL since it is more suited for the synchro engagement.

And in the tranny you used MTL? How come not MT-90?
