Yes. I've read through the archives. Just looking for some up-to-date impressions.

Yeah. I 've been using it for 4 years in both the trans and the diff, and no problems whatsoever.

What other lube have you used, and how is the shifting??

Default When the car is cold, you can hear a little gear whine. However, when the car warms up,

the gear whine goes away. It usually goes away in about a minute or so. It should be noted that this usually occurs in the mornings when the car has been sitting in the garage overnight and the outside temperature is approximately below 60F.

As for shifting, it's so minutely notchy when cold for about a minute, but very smooth after that.

Since Motul is trusted amongst top professional race teams worldwide including Honda-Mugen and Prodrive, I feel very confident using their engine and drivetrain lubricants.

Thanks. Just wondering how it compares to Redline MT-90.
