Does this also work with autos?
I have not looked into it much, but I have an auto 07 tc and was wondering if I can put mt 90 into it.

is your auto trans shifting that rough enough to warrant a fluid swap?

their website has a thing to type in your zipcode and find local and mailorder redline dealers. i think the site was redlineoil.com or something. yes three quarts and mt-90 is the one......

The gears are still smother than before, but my 1st to 2nd gear grind came back after a few months. It only happens on cold starts.

Just changed my fluid to Valvoline 75w90 fluid.
Shifts great, took about half an hour to do.

I will be doing this ~every 15k miles to be safe.

Hey guys, I'm in the process of doing the oil change myself....so I went out to look for some mt-90 but I only found D4-ATF: Automatic/manual tansmission/ transaxle fliud. On the redline website it is listed under the manual oils. http://www.redlineoil.com/products_g...7&categoryID=7

So does anyone recommend me NOT to use this? and why so? Thanks

^^ do u have Auto or Stick?

if u have auto... u cannot use this oil... this oil is only for MT cars... u need an ATF...

also, ive had experience with these oils and they work wonders in your tranny... although, i would use a mixture of 2qt of MT90 and .5-1.0 qt of MTL, both redline products.
