Redline MTL or MT-90 are GL4 and are NOT
appropriate for the diff.
I forgot what Redline calls the GL5
gear oil, but I believe that it is
a 75W-90 synthetic. Also Mobil 1
synthetic Gear Oil (same weights)
is appropriate.

For the transmission you can use either MT-90 or MTL. MT90 is a little
heavier and potentially provides a little better lubrication. MTL is
suitable for colder climates or if you want to lighten the shift feel.
The rear diff is specified to use GL5 gear oil. I am not sure if MT90
is the correct fill.
