I did some more research and MTL should probably work. From Redline's site:

Quote:

Red Line MTL may be used in transmissions which recommend 70W, 75W, 80W, or 85W GL-4 gear oils, or SAE 30 or 5W/10W30 motor oils. If a 90W GL-4 or SAE 40, 10W40, or 15W40 is required, MT-90 may be used.

Since 75W85 is an option for our cars, I'm thinking MTL will probably be safe since it covers that entire viscosity range.

Check out the wheel/tire forum, I'm in the confirmed fitment post or you can view my vehicle by clicking on my username, then clicking View under registered vehicles. I will add a full side pic soon.

Not a bad winter wheel, esp for the price. I'm plotting on how to get some nicer (lighter) black or gunmetal wheels this spring with hi perf tires. I may sell my stockers with the advans.

Take care,

Here's a response I got back from Redline:

Quote:

The MTL and MT-90 are substantially different viscosities, not the same. In your transaxle I would recommend a blend of MTL and MT-90 to satisfy the 75W85 viscosity that performs well in these vehicles.
