[V8] Redline transmission oil

[jpb3]

Well, the MT 90 is what I used in my UrS6 which has a 01E tranny.  I
use GL -5 gear oil in the rear.

GL-4 for tranny, GL 5 for rear end, this is for the 01E.  GL-4 is
brass synchro compatible which is neccessary, GL5 is not.

There is some cold weather notchiness associated with the Redline MT 90 FWIW.

Different tranny's I know but they may be similiar in their requirements.
