Hey guys. Its come time to fill my gearbox and and diff up.
I am thinking of using REDLINE 75W90 gear oil FOR THE DIFF and REDLINE superlight shockproof OIL for the transmission.

Some people also use the super light shockproof in the diff also.

Any input welcome.
Heard many good things about the redline and I'm really interested in giving it a go.

Have people used this in their S2's

I use Redline MT90 for the gearbox and Redline 75w90 NS for the diff (Mine is a clutch type diff though...)
Never had an issue. Did try using the hyped Mobil 1 stuff on the S2ki forums and that made the diff noisier... also tried using Motul FF-LSD which was ok but didn't seem to like heat as much as the Redline equivalent (Needed to change the Motul stuff a bit more often).

Now using Redline engine oil... so far so good! Sure as hell beats paying the Motul 300V premium. Check out Autosphere.com.au if you're after any of the above (No I'm not affiliated in any way but buying locally is usually a rip off) :)

hey man, thanks for the info. i was having a read and they said that the MTL is the replacement for honda and Acura.
and MT90 had like lexus nissan etc etc. does it really matter.

this stuff will be changed prob every 6 months. thats maybe 6 track days. or less.
there are good and bad things about redline but guess you gotta try it for yourself.

MTL or MT90 hmmm

Try a 50/50 ratio of redline MTL and MT-90 for the gearbox
