Redline MTL 75-80W
IMHO, i think redline is really nice stuff.  It proves its worth at cold
(below 20 deg F) temps when other oils make shifting the vgon trans an
effort.

***I had about 50kmi on my new transaxle when i changed the oil to
redline.  The debris collecting plug came out with a whig of ferrous
dust.  No peices larger than dust, but it was impressive looking when i
pulled it out and all the particles were standing out.

At the same time, i changed the oil on the differential which hadn't
been changed in my 125kmi of ownership and its magnetic plug was very
clean except for a few particles around the edge of the plug.

later,
Fred
