Mt 90

Hey guys, i put straight MT90 in my transmission (not the tcase) just wondering if that's OK, or if the transmission is as picky about what fluids it's got as the transfer case. please let me know
thanks

I never liked it in my 03 evo... never felt like the fluid warmed up. I'd but some BG I (non syn) in it if I were you...
