Anyone have any experience with Redline MT-85?

Post by Hype »

New oil out, 75w85 GL-4. A lot of makes are now recommending this weight instead of 75w90 printed in the owner's manual, including Nissan on the Z33/Z34. Redline had been recommending to some to mix MTL and MT-90 so I guess this new oil fits that niche.

Has anyone tried running this oil in a KA/SR/RB20 gearbox yet? I run MT-90 in all my s13s and it's worked well, but there's potenial for smoother shifts with a less vicious oil. If OEMs are recommending the 85w in favor of 90w then the potential wear must not be significant.

Yeah it works great about the same results as my royal purple though still just as smooth and never grinds any gear even under hard boost
