Re: Redline, Which One?



I don't KNOW for a fact, but general opinion on all the watercooled VW lists
I've been on say MTL.  I asked my mechanic and he also said MTL.  I run MTL
in my 4K with a Quaife.

FWIW I called Redline and asked, and they said MT-90.  But the lady that I
spoke with didn't seem very knowledgable about Redline products, and
especially not about VW's.  She was basing her "recommendation" solely on
the fact that stock gear oil for a VW transaxle is 90W.
