Redline MTL or MT90 for trans
I want to change the trans fluid and wanted to know which is a better choice.
MTL or MT90.
Love Redline and looking for a fluid to give long transmission life.
Thanks

I'm using MTL with excellent results; the syncros seem to react quicker than the stock fluid, I haven't been able to shift quicker than the 'box can handle since putting the MTL in.

i debated on MTL or MT-90 - went with the thicker MT-90 here in Hawaii cause we have no cool weather. believe most use MTL though.

Any idea how much a person should buy to flush and refill the manual tranny on a '02 MCS?
