Default Redline MT-90 ?

If you are using Redline MT-90 as your Transmission Oil do you feel improvement in your shifting. Are the spec. the same as what Honda is using? thanks for your comments and help.

Redline MT-90 is awesome, as long as it isn't too cold outside. It is heavier than the Honda fluid, but it still meets Honda's specs. I have tried several other oils, but so far this one is the best.

IMO MT-90 is the best of the half dozen I have tried and I use it year round, although it is stiff for a few minutes when the temp is below 40F. I have always had trouble with the 1-2 grind when the box gets very hot and find MT-90 keeps it to a minimum.

Here in Vermont, the temps in the winter exasperated the notorious 2nd gear grind of my Contour SVT and the Redline MT-90 was the only tranny oil that addressed the issue with the results I wanted, even when the temps dipped into the negatives.
Good stuff. A cocktail for your car.

I have been using MT-90 for a while and it works great after it warms up good. Lot smoother shifts than with OEM oil. Just curious, has anyone tried any kind of Amsoil oil in the tranny? I am thinking about trying some.
