Victor, why the brand split between sump and crashbox/diff? Inquiring
minds want to know...
Earlier in its life (in North Texas, when it was a daily commuting
vehicle), my U20 ran Castrol GTX 20W50. On moving back to NYC, I found
it way too stiff for northern climes. At that point, and after a
lengthy storage episode, the change to Redline across the board
commenced. I've been pleased, if not initially with the $7/qt economics
of Redline, by its performance.
