MT 90 is a 90 wt gear oil

MTL is a 75/80 wt gear oil. This is the equivelant to a 30 wt motor oil

We use the Red Line MTL in all transmissions that require a 30 wt  
motor oil and REd Line MT 90 in all transmissions that require a 90  
wt gear oil.


The Healey transmission requires a 30 wt non detergent oil
