Mark, the Redline site 
(http://www.redlineoil.com/products_gearlubricants.asp?productID=46&subCateg
oryID=17&categoryID=7)
says this:
"Red Line Oil's MTL and MT-90 are designed to provide excellent protection
and improved shiftability for manual transmissions and transaxles.....
MTL is a low 70W at very low temperatures and a high 80W, nearly an 85W, at
elevated temperatures, providing adequate viscosity to prevent wear and
deaden gear noise. MT-90 is a thicker 75W90 version of MTL".

David, the group consensus was to use MT-90.    Are you saying that  MTL is 
what should be used.

What is the "regular"  Redline that you refer to.
