Rideline lubricants, is my selection okay?

[horizontalkev]

For the manual transmission and transfer case I plan to use GL-4 redline MT90 75W90. (3 quarts total)

For the differential I plan on using GL-5 Redline (57904) 75W90. (1 total quart)

Will these be okay to use or are there better recommendations? Thanks DSMers

Red Line MT90 Manual Transmission 75W90 GL-4 x3 for tranny.
Red Line 58204 Heavy ShockProof Gear Oil x2 total .4 will go into transfer case, the rest into rear diff.

You need 3qt MT90 (trans takes around 2.5)

2qt Heavy duty shockproof
Transfer case .5 Qt
Rear differential .9 Qt

Redline is great stuff .. and so is AMSOIL fluids.

Yep, Redline is awesome and you can't really go wrong with it.

Sounds like you already ordered but just for the rest of you guys I typically put together package deals for fluids together so you save some cash. Fluids - Maximal Performance

I hear nothing but good things about redline.

Yeah I didn't know you had deals next time I'll buy from you. I'll probably change tranny fluids in my N/T soon I will definitely check you out when I do

Redline is a good choice. I like to run MT-85 (its what Redline recommends). I had MT-90 in my trans and it shifted awesome cold but when it warmed up it wasn't as good. Well I had to pull the trans a few months later and I figured I would try MT-85 per Redline reps recommendation and I found that the MT-85 made for butter smooth shifts. Even over the MT90. Both were fresh fluids that I changed. It wasn't like it was old MT90.

Crap where I live the summer sits above 105°+

Use oem oil. It will shift better than the redline stuff. I use to swear that Redline is good but Oem is what I swear by now. There is something in oem oil that help to control whining in the transmission also.

DiaQueen is the OEM stuff .. about 100 bucks a gallon.

Funny is - that MT-90 is like a 10w/40 fluid .. a bit heavier than the 85 stuff being like a 10w/30 fluid ... and you had issues in hot weather? Interesting ..
