I order some new drain/fill hardware and the ever-trusty RedLine MT90! Get the car in the air and see dirty fluid on the bottom of the case near the drain plug.

Pros: ever-trusty
Cons: dirty fluid
Vehicle: Volkswagen

The Redline shockproof gear oil line has performed very well for me in differentials, especially in endurance racing applications where a cooler IS NOT used.

Pros: performed very well

With a bit of effort, the fill and drain plugs reluctantly spun free of their comfortable homes in the diff. The fluid that came out looked fairly fresh, so in went a bit of Redline 75W90 limited slip gear oil, because this is a true enthusiast machine.

Pros: fluid looked fresh
Vehicle: Subaru Outback

I switched from Mazda oem to redline and it significantly improved the shifting into first and reverse. I'm very happy with redline so far.

Pros: improved shifting

I decided on Redline MTL which has a viscosity of about 10.8cst. I can confirm just based on shifting feel alone that I prefer the Redline MTL to that Amsoil MTG. Actually I really didn't like the Amsoil MTG that much based on the shifting characteristics.

Pros: better shifting feel
Cons: shifting characteristics disliked
Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat B6

I had tried Redline MT90 to get rid of the intermittent grind into 2nd, but it made all shifting more difficult and always grind into 2nd. So I went back to OEM.

Cons: made shifting more difficult
Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado

Not as expensive as redline and you can get it locally. I live in New England and it performs well in both hot and cold climates. I've had it for 1 1/2 years now and I love it. Just hate the damn smell of the gear oil.

Pros: performs well in climates
Cons: damn smell of oil

Redline is very stiff when cold, but holds up better under harsh conditions (hard driving).

Pros: holds up better
Cons: very stiff when cold
