Jim,
My son has a 2010 Shelby Mustang and has done extensive research on Redline
oils. He ended up ordering directly from the manufacturer because he could
not find it locally. I followed his research as we discussed it on a
regular basis; I found that Redline is extremely thorough; I would follow
their recommendations using the GL-5. I would check the online MSDS to be
sure however. By the way, he just told me this past Saturday that he is
switching to Amsoil, not sure why yet. I suspect availability and cost.

I was checking out the Redline Transmission fluid and found these
descriptions on their website. Do they contradict each other?
The 75W90NS GL-5 description included the following:
Musclecar applications like Ford Top Loader, Borg-Warner T-10 and Super
T-10, and Muncie transmissions
The 75W90 GL-4 description:
Safe for brass synchros, as it lacks the reactive sulfurs found in most
GL-5 oils that cause damage
So which should I use?
OBTW, I have one of the very early MkI's with the original BW T-10.
Also...does anybody know any retail outlets that carry Redline or do I need
to order online. I made the rounds this AM to all the usual places...NAPA,
Autozone, Advance Auto etc. Nobody carried it.
Thx, Jim
