I have been using Redline MTL with good results, IMHO the MT90 is too thick...Pete

I always needed to add additional Mobil 1 prior to mileage coming due. Seemed to burn up quicker thatn RP.

I use RP in the mill, but from technical data I have read: it's not as good as stock tranny oil. Ever try to use anything other than Honda genuine ATF-Z in one of their auto trannies? It works for a while...
Personally I will only use Honda MTF in the tranny. RP for the mill and Mobil1 in the rear. RP gear oil sucks in every test I have seen.

+1 for Honda MTF (& regular changes)

I think there might be a bit of confusion between motor, transmission, & diff oil going on - shouldn't be burning off transmission oil, should you ?!?

Pennzoil Platinum for the motor (& regular changes )
LE Duolec for the diff (& regular changes )
