"The fact that Redline changed their formulation on the MT-90 synthetic oil was recently confirmed..." I envy your timing Richard (coming up 2 years this summer) but I just changed mine in October. If this 'reformulation' is confirmed, does anyone know when it occurred? And does this mean change to something else next time, or drain the stuff now because I'm harming my trans? Rich, Daryl, anyone? Thanks, GeneP 87 Hardhat Wolf (stock) 23K on rebuilt trans, maybe 1K on MT-90 |
