Its been asked loads of times, but is there any oil that is preferred or reccommended by those with substantial power increases?? I know that a lot of people use Castrol Syntrax, but with the many varieties of different, synthetic, and semi synthetic oils around, has anyone tried different oils? Redline MTL90 always seems to be favoured in a lot of high power rwd cars, in some of the big american Tremec boxes and Supra boxes. Some use ATF.
Do we just stick with the Syntrax??

Nobody has reported any problems with syntrax i.e. synchros not meshing - therefore, that is what I am filling up my g'box with this week.

a mate uses redline 75w90NS (better than MT90) in his gearbox,
he prefers it to castrol sytrax
hes also trying out the redline 10w40 engine oil,
he was using the motul 15w50 before

im having my gearbox oil changed with redline next week
