you'll love it. I asume you got the MTG 75W-90

Back before I let the nissan dealership touch my car and destroy my tranny (by giving back to me half empty) I switched over to the MTG and it really was like butter.

I'm running MTG now. To me, it's no different than the MT-90 or Neo 75w-90HD I was running in the past. They all work pretty well.

The only difference btwn Redline and Amsoil is Amsoil is better in colder weather. I have yet to experiance a hard or notchy shift in below 0 temps.

I second this. I did not notice any difference after putting in Amsoil, but then again the previous owner was a mechanic so I had little doubt that he had something just as good in there before. If you are going from regular ole oil Im sure you will love it, though.

No true. There is no basis of any kind for that type of thing.
