I appreciate this thread. I have been in communication with Redline. First they told me I should use the 75W-90, which is a GL-5. I asked about issues with damage to yellow metal. They first said that it wouldn't be a problem with their addiditives and gave me a bunch of technical stuff about viscosity and said that the viscosity shouldn't be a problem at the higher end. They then emailed me back and said that after discussing with their chemist, the Redline MTL would work. However, it is not an EP lube. They said that the type of transmission in my 96 really does not need an EP. Now I am really confused as the shop manual and owners manual says is should be and EP. I had been using the Amsoil 75W-90 EP, which is a GL-5. I am somewhat concerned about the yellow metal issue and that is why I was looking for something else. Is the Quaker State referred to earlier an EP lube? Maybe for a once a season tranny oil change, it would be worth ordering from europe.
