    Redline is the name of the company, MTL is the name of the product.......you can get from the redline website or places like demon tweeks

    think its best to use MTL on rod change boxes, and MT90 on cable change boxes. and very bad to use the opposite on the opposite, TSC is the expert.

    Being synthtic doesn't have any bearing on the viscosity. I think redline is 75w/80
