Hello, Healeyphiles -

Since my overdrive sticking problems have coincided with a need for a
regularly-scheduled gearbox oil change, I thought it might be time to
try
the Redline MTL that so many have raved about.  Of course, my local
Advance
store is out of stock (probably not "out" - just didn't order any in the
first place).  But from their catalog I noticed two things:
1.  MTL is 75W/85W.  That seems a might thick, compared to the 30W
non-detergent I have used for 25 years.
2.  MTL costs $14 per quart.  That seems a might steep, compared to the
$1.99 per quart for 30W non-detergent.

So, the cost for a twice a year oil change will go from about $8 to $56.
Is
the difference in performance worth that?  75W/85W is close to the
viscosity
of rear axle oil.  What about the manual caution against using heavy
oils in
the gearbox?  Is that caution obsolete now?

Happy Healeying!
