Hey Guys!

So I have a 2016 GT PP, and Im a big maintenance freak. I decided to change my transmission and differential oil and I used the Redline products. MT-90 for trans and 75-90 for differential.

What a huge difference!!! Shifts were smoother rite at a cold start, it also seemed to help with the thud when changing gears that you get. When driving slow in first or second gear you tend to hear a chatter or almost hissing like sound when RPMs are low on those first or second gear, that has been almost completely gone. You barely hear it at all!

Differential oil when it came out was completely black and on both the drain and fill screw it had so much build up on it.

Anyone that has changed their oils I highly recommend doing so!!!

I have a 6 speed manual on a Nissan Frontier 4x4 thats been running Redline for a few years. it made night and day difference in that truck smooth as butter. Going to put it in the Mustang. I don't think the market share is high enough for the manuals to give Ford the attention the 6M need.

Yeah I was really shocked at the difference it made. Everything runs much smoother. I will be trying their engine oil soon.

Great to hear!

I just bought the BG Syncro Shift II 75W-80 fluid the other day. I will get it changed this weekend. Curious to see the difference vs. stock.

Yeah, the company has profit margins they need to keep and keep increasing, so they will settle with lower quality parts and oils. Thats why wether new or used I will change oils, bushings, and suspension components on the car. Everything I've done on the car feels amazing so far, especially the oil changes I really didn't think it would of made the difference it did, just thought better protection, but to my surprise everything feels smoother.

Redline made my Harley go from "Harley to Bentley" in shifting smoothness, so I believe it.

I'm lazy, how much of each oil did you need. Thhaaanks! :)
My trans took about 2.8 qts almost. I just filled it till it dropped is usually the rule of thumb. The diff took about 1.75qts
