Redline transmission oil

[bart9n3]

Hey guys,

was after some opinions on Redline MTL and MT-90, which would be better suited for the polo, and if you've used either of these oils how did you find they performed?

I put Redline MTL in last weekend. Dramatic change. Synchro much nicer now.

This was at 130k km. My impression was the gearbox oil was original before this. I couldn't decide between the two so picked the one that more people seemed to use.

I've got MTL in mine. A mate was looking right into his oils recently as he has had some synchro dramas in a renault transaxle and found in the MTL/MT-90 literature that you shouldn't use these oils in differentials. What the? Whats that mean for our diff in gearbox diffs that run these oils?

I think they mean with LSDs Sam.

I believe MTL is slightly less vicious then what MT-90 is. Either way, everyone that has replaced the stock oil with either of the redline oils has been pleased, it's just personal preference which one you go for, I can't imagine there would be a massive different in feel between the two. Some run a 50/50 mix of the two or even hear of some running 50/50 mix of the MT-90/lightweight shockproof. I run all lightweight shockproof from redline in mine and find it really good, but can't compare to the MTL or MT-90 as I haven't run them before.

Bought MTL on ebay - $109.00 delivered for a US gallon. it was quick shipping and delivery.

The MTL has quietened the box and improved shift.
