Hey, don't mean to start a big debate about tranny fluids as there are already a ton of them around. I've read about the recommendations about using various Redline products depending on the sticker/plug type and all that.
But the general consensus appears to be -- you're safest bet is to use MTL. So, unless I get any more info, I'll probably end up going that route.
That said, most of that consensus appears to be around cars that see street driving, where cold temperature performance would be necessary.
So my question is, if I'm looking for a race car fluid for the tranny (Spec E30), wouldn't it make more sense to go with a thicker fluid? My understanding is MT90 is just thicker MTL (which is 80 weight on the hot end). Not really understanding why MTL would be a desirable alternative given the application.
Thoughts?
