Default Gear Oil/Lub...ADVISE!!!

Looking to drain my current trans oil to replace with Redline MT-90 (which im seeing everywhere). How does AMSOIL stack up with this?Just read that article on gear lubes and apparently, AMSOIL Severe Gear is thejammmm...

Not too concerned with price -- i know AMSOIL is pricey.


i'm assuming gear oils, gear lubes, transmission oil are all the same thing (which is different from transmission fluid that goes in automatic cars) -- still a newbie here

Redline, Royal Purple, Amsoil, they all make good stuff. They are all pricey too.

Yes its all the same. Its gearbox oil.
Tranny fluid usually only pertains to Auto trannys.
