What do you guys think of redline products

 

Redline products are extremely good products. I wouldn't go as far as to say they are the best especially with the high price tag associated with them. You can get better products for a lower cost.

 

I use the redline water wetter in my coolant, great product

 

MT-90 in my tranny since 30K miles. It made the synchros much smoother above freezing temps. However, below 30 degrees and before the gear oil reaches operating temperatures, it goes through a phase where it's much notchier than the original factory fill (nasty enough to warrant double clutching for about 5-10 minutes).

 

i have the mt-90 in my 6spd....and let me tell you...it made a world of a difference...currently I have the home-made STS from SR20den....and this thing is NOTCHY as a ****....but having mt-90 in the transmission...and doing the white lithium grease mod to the pivot ball....it makes the transmission shift silky smooth....i would definitely recommend mt-90 to anybody

 

Great products from what i hear, but im going to have to reccomend against WaterWetter, it can form some sort of black goo in the cooling system..........

 

how abt redline fuel system cleaner ... is it any better than techron ? thx

 

MT-90 virtually eliminated the notchiness of my STS, especially when going from 5th to 4th. Great stuff!

 

Does redline make ATF fluid for my 97 maxima?

Im debating on whether to go REDLINE or MOBIL1 SYN.

 

I have always wanted to try it on my 2002.. but my shifter is only notchy on ultra cold mornings... still.. if ithelps to prolong the tranny, maybe I should just do it...

 

yes they do make atf

 

I certainly agree with this comment. I too changed to MT-90 at 30K miles and now have 37K miles.

I also agree with this comment:
"MT-90 in my tranny since 30K miles. It made the synchros much smoother."

This is the only Redline product I have any experience using, and is the sole basis for my vote above.

 

I have used both Mobil 1-ATF (60KM) and Redline D4 ATF (20KM). I think Mobil 1 ATF is smoother. Next time, I'll go back to Mobil 1 ATF. No change in mileage.

 

I am currently in a rinse cycle of Auto RX with Chevron Supreme 5W30 dino in my 01 I30. When it's over I'll switch to Red Line 5W30 with 7500 OCI with a UOA at 5K at first. I have used RL products for years in other vehicles and it is superb. I also question the price/value ratio. The Nissan engines are known to be easy on oil and Rl may be overkill.
In my 99 Acura SLX (akaTrooper) the 3.5 L has been problematic for some people because of oil consumption. The RedLine has the lowest NOACK Volatility in the business. It simply does not burn up very easily. My 3.5L Isuzu engine burns a half quart every 3500 miles even when four wheeling in Moab, Mojave etc. Since we go wheeling alone at times, I prefer the security of RL in the SUV. I can't afford a lubrication failure in Death Valley.

 

I have a 96 5spd w/ a b&m SS... I want to know how much mt 90 will i need and where is the best place to get it. Whats the average price?

Thanks for the help.

 

Read the stickies. They will answer your questions.

 

Where is the best place to get redline products for cheap? I read that Autoil.com was supposed to be the best, but that site doesn't exist anymore. Anyone know of another place?

 

I bought my Redline manual trannie oil from:
My Oil Shop - Performance Products & Supply
345 Freeport Road
Pittsburgh, PA 15215
sales@myoilshop.com

I got a 10% discount using this number
Dealer Discount: (675421 / 10%)

Hope this helps.

 

how much was it after the 10% per bottle?

do you email them the order? I went on their website but the sitemap seems to be missing.

 

nm I forgot I needed to install java on this computer

oh and thanks, that is the cheapest I have seen MT-90 on all the sites I have searched

One question though, do you put the discount code into the special intructions box?

 

Yes. All of this info is 6 months old, and the prices may be higher.

 

I put MT-90 in my 2000 5speed when I had the clutch changed. Doesnt feel any different to me. It hasnt really been through the bitter cold yet so we will see.

 

When I replaced mine in the 04 6-Speed, I noticed the difference with the first shift. I had about 30 K miles on the original fluid from the factory.

 

I have 3 bottles of MT-90 in my garage. How did you all do it? Yourselves or what business and how much?

 

By myself, following the directions in the stickie. I had to buy a funnel with a long pipe to get to the filler hole.

 

Before you go with mailorder, check some local speed shops or independent parts places. The typical sale price for Redline products is around $8 per quart. It will be less trouble to haggle with your local Redline dealer than to wait for the mail.

 

MT-90 in my 5 speed, didn't notice a huge difference between the new fluid and the old, mainly because my tranny had just been replaced (and filled with an unknown fluid). I will be interested to see how it feels with an SRE short throw...I will find out in a week!!! I can't wait....
It was worth the pricetag for the piece of mind that this stuff is good...

 

I use Redline MT-90 and water wetter, and have been happy with both. Their motor oil is a bit more $$ than I feel like spending for oil, though. The MT-90 smoothed out the tranny somewhat and is much smoother cold start shifting as well.

I also like www.redlinegoods.com for custom leather stuff in the car

I ALSO like www.RedlineMax.com (my sponsor for autocross) for maxima performance and "styling" parts and accessories (shameless plug)

 

OK, I said great, but that is only for the gear oils. I have used MTL/MT-90 in several transmissions and it is great for improved shifts.
If you do some research you will find that the base stocks that redline uses are better than conventional oil, but not as good as the PAO's that Mobil uses.
I will be running only Mobil 1 in the turbo Maxima.

MT-90 is indeed great stuff. It is one of only a few mods that made an extremely noticeable difference. Doesn't it take 3.5 or 4 quarts? I don't think 3 quarts is enough. I got mine from myoilshop.com as well, seemed to be the best price. Good luck finding it cheaper locally.

 

It depends what year Max you are driving. The 6th Gen takes less than the older Max's.
