Redline cocktail containing 2 quarts of MT-90 and 1 quart of MTL. This seems to be the perfect combo for Mitsu 5-speed transmissions.

guys, hundreds of customers using MTG GL4 and have had great results from the tranny getting quieter and the shifting improving,,, this means AMSOIL has a great balance between Syncro lubrication and gear film lubricity,,, this combo is so hard to acomplish when designing an oil

I've tried BG Syncrhoshift II, it was ok. I am now running the same cocktail as S2kracka, it's pretty nice.

I would like to try that Amsoil though, heard good things about it.

Changed my tranny fluid at 15000 along with my entire drivetrain. Switched everything over to Amsoil and I love it. When shifting the tranny just falls into gear, especially when I rev match. No complaints thus far but ive only done about 2500 miles since.

I use 75W-90 for the trans and rear diff and severe gear for the front diff. 10W-30 for the motor. All AMSOil here and I drive it like it won't break (because it won't)!
