Re: What viscosity oil for 5 speed?

Shayne,
Check your owners manual for the proper viscosity. I'm running Redline
MT-90 in my 5-spd, and I find it remarkably better than Mobil 1. The Mobil
1 felt way too thick at low temps and shifting into first and second was
like shifting through molasses. The Redline has not shown the same
charateristics.

You can check out http://www.redlineoil.com for more info.
