Red Line MT-90 is Red Line's 75W-90 manual gearbox oil, blended on a full synthetic polyol ester base. A viscosity index of 200 keeps the oil film close to constant from a cold start to a hot session, and Red Line rates the shear and oxidation stability high enough that the physical characteristics change little with use.
It is rated API GL-4, the category intended for synchronized manual transmissions and transaxles. Red Line tunes the coefficient of friction for synchro engagement rather than for maximum slipperiness, and states the additive chemistry is non-corrosive and will not corrode synchros or bushings. MT-90 uses the same chemistry as Red Line MTL in a thicker 90-weight, for gearboxes whose maker specifies an SAE 90 GL-4.
Features:
- API GL-4 rated — the category Red Line intends for synchronized manual gearboxes, not for hypoid differentials
- SAE 75W-90 gear grade; Red Line also rates it at SAE 15W40 motor oil viscosity
- Full synthetic polyol ester base stock
- Viscosity index 200; 15.5 cSt at 100 °C, 82 cSt at 40 °C; pour point −45 °C (−49 °F)
- Red Line states the additive chemistry is non-corrosive and will not corrode synchros or bushings
- Also covers applications specifying API GL-1 or GL-3 and most special synchromesh fluids
- Same chemistry as Red Line MTL but a full 90-weight — the heaviest oil in Red Line's GL-4 manual gearbox range
- 1 US quart (946 mL)
Fitment: A manual transmission and transaxle oil. Use it where the gearbox specifies an SAE 75W-90, 80W-90 or 90 GL-4 gear oil, an API GL-1 or GL-3 lubricant, most special synchromesh fluids, or a motor oil viscosity of SAE 40, 10W-40 or 15W-40. Red Line lists it as popular in Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, VW/Audi, Toyota and Lotus Elise/Exige manual gearboxes, and in Mendeola transmissions and Atlas transfer cases for off-road use. Within Red Line's GL-4 manual gearbox range MT-LV (70W/75W) is the thinnest, then MTL (75W-80), then MT-85 (75W-85), with MT-90 (75W-90) the heaviest — pick MT-90 when the box is specified for a 90-weight or an SAE 40/15W-40 motor oil.
Please note: Do not put it in a hypoid differential. Red Line states that MT-LV, MTL, MT-85 and MT-90 are not for use in differentials with hypoid gears, which need a GL-5 oil such as Red Line 75W-90 GL-5.
