I started using Redline in the trans and diff of my FC and later my FD with no problems but later switched to Neo. Neo seems to work better. IMO trans shifts a lot smoother.

I've had better results with Amsoil. There is nothing wrong with Redline, I just liked the feel of the shifting with Amsoil better.

What spec and weight of Amsoil (75W90 or ?, GL5 or ?, etc.)?

Did you use it in both the trans and diff?

Did you ever try NEO, and if you did, how did it compare to the Amsoil?

Thanks,

Dave
