Subject:Re: Standard Transmission oil change - Redline MT-90 vs. Royal Purple

While RedLine & RoyalPurple are both very good Lubes, it is completely

unnecessary to go to that expense ~ Valvoline SynPower 75/90 or 75/140 are

quite capable of keeping Your Tranny Quite Happy as are a number of other

NameBrand Lubes ~
