I changed out all my lubes to Redline a short time ago.
Is it any better? Can't really say, there are heaps of threads about it.
They are top quality products without a doubt, but worth the extra$?
If you check out their website you can punch in any car and it gives you recomendations on correct product etc.
Cheers

I switched to redline last service, and the shift action is definitely better when stone cold. When warm, well I've never had problems anyway so it's pretty much the same.
Not sure which grade my mechanic used.

Vuey, if you 'topped up' on 'Mobil 1' you're probably not doing anything and if you are it's probably bad. You don't 'top up' the oil you drain and replace. And you must use an oil specifically for the tranny. A 75w90 IIRC. I believe there is a Mobil product and it may even be titled Mobil 1, but that is a range, not an oil.
