I'm starting to rack up the miles on my 2012 GT, so I decided to search around for possible motor, tranny, and gear oils. Stumbled across Redline MTL 70W80, which is described by Redline to be a replacement for the Motorcraft XT-MT-QS fluids that is spec'd by Ford and shipped in (most of) our cars. See: http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?product=50204



Has anyone with more technical knowledge of the Redline MTL 70W80 looked at the specifications and determined if it is indeed a good replacement for the stock QS fluid?

 

I've seen where a couple of people have used it in their cars but haven't seen any extended reports on the success.

 

I've had it in mine for about 1000 miles now. I like it. I also put this spec sheet together for the different oils...

Thanks Insidious - Can you elaborate a bit more on the before/after with Redline MTL for those of us considering the switch?

 

Any idea how it compares to GM synchromesh? Thats my go to fluid in MT cars.

 

The syncromesh fluid is way too light for the MT82.

 

i'm a huge amsoil fan...wonder how it would do in the MT82

Agreed.

It does just fine. Others on AFM have used Amsoil Synchromax with similar result to Redline MTL. Its very close in composition to Redline.

 

good to know thanks
