The MTL has some added ingredient for smoother synchro engagement. The differential is just strait 90 and I don't have a preference for that. Although I did mix NEO HD in both but it's $17/bottle.

I ran mobil 1 in the transmission for a short while and had problems with notchy shifting and gear grinding when cold. I replaced it with redline 2 years ago and it's shifted smoothly ever since. The additives they use do make a difference.
