I trust Steve Hoelcher that the oil prevents tranny disasters. The cost for transmission oil is just a piss in Mississippi compared to all other costs I've spent on her.wow that's expensive oil! does this magic fluid worth the expense?? i must admit that i went on the cheap commercial grade oil when i serviced my gearbox last year..but my car is not a turbo\racer\street war beast..
75w90 is same MT90.
or not, more I search, more I understand about them.
Ok MTL is way to go
i wanted to say - "more I don't understand"75w90 is same MT90.

75w90 is GL5 and MT90 (75w90) is GL4? And GL5 is not compatible with X19 gearbox. Did I understand correctly?
But aren't MT90 and MTL both GL4 and both without EP additive? I believe the difference is mostly the weight is a little heavier on one? Or are there other additive changes between them? I've studied this before but like I said, I don't recall.
My point was to ask if both RedLine MT90 and RedLine MTL can be used effectively in the X's gearbox. I think you answered that, but just wanted to be clear we haven't misunderstood one another. Not that I'm recommending one of those two over the other, but I was thinking for those in other parts of the world finding it difficult to get MTL, then maybe the MT90 might be an option (if it happens to be available instead)?Yes. GL4 without the EP additive package.

it is my opinion, based on extensive testing in street cars, track cars and dedicated racing cars, that MTL is the preferred fill for street cars and autocross cars. If the car is regularly used in track events (track days, HPDE, etc...) that MT90 is the preferred fill.
Steve, what is the reason for preferring MT90 for the track? Does the MTL overheat? I haven't seen this recommendation before, I just filled my 5 speed (with geared LSD) with MTL. Big track event this weekend.
Seems like that angle is good on x19. Here is my favorite of my car... Sorry to derailed the thread's subject...Thanks Greg. I don't have many photos of the car. That one is one of my favorites.
