[V8] Manual gear oil (transmission)

[Steve Buchholz]

After losing the synchros in a 5kCSQ at 140K trannny shortly after switching to RedLine (about 20K on the RL), I have decided to stick with factory fluids in my MTs.  The oil doesn't get replaced often enough for the extra cost to be significant in my book.

sorry about that should have stated it was for the trans.
From what I can find I should go with

Redline 75w90 NS GL-5 (has additives for copper corrosion)
Moblie Synth 75/90w LS with the GL-5 designation
Castrol TAF-X 75w90 Synth (cant seem to find it yet)


I'm leaning towards the Redline

Any thoughts?
