Carl,
	I used Valvoline Racing 20-50w for numerous years but a couple years
back changed to Redline MT-90.  The Redline seems to provide a smoother
shift but no big change.

	After all the changes made to the oils in the last few years I
decided to go synthetic and use Redline 10-40w in the engine too.

	I have heard the MTL-90 is better suited for our transmission but
until I have to change it again it seems to be doing the job.

HTH,
Don

Am about to change the oil in the gear box and was going to put in Redline
MTL-90, 20W50. Currently have MT-90 and don't see a difference.

Talked to a guy today who knows his way around cars and he is recommending
Valvoline Racing 20W50. He recently put this in a Triumph 250 and the owner
is
thrilled with the results shifting and with the overdrive performance.

Any thoughts about this?
