Default Don't know about the GL spec

In my Bentley it says:

Gear oil: SAE 75 W 90 (synthetic oil)

Is that what you're looking for? I think MT90 will be fine.

Default I used Redline MTL in mine....

It's a 70W80 GL-4. The MT90 is a 75W90 GL-4.

I went with the 70w80 because it would be slightly thinner in the winter, and should provide slightly easier shifting when the trans is cold.

As for what the GL spec is supposed to be, I have no idea.

Default It turns out mine needs GL-4 . If yours uses Audi G 005 100 A1 fluid,it does as well.
