MT-90 VS Amsoil!?!?!Which One for tranny

I have a 96 maxima SE 5spd and am looking to replace the transmission fluid. Which one should i go with? MT90 or Amsoil. I drive hard and the weather varies here in jersey from 20 degrees to 100 degrees. I need something that will perform. Please help!! Thanks

Redline feels better, Amsoil protects better. You choose your poison.

I've heard that Amsoil protects better and feels better than Redline. I don't even know when my gear oil was last changed on my max (I've never changed it since I've owned it as of 3-4 years ago) so it's definitely about time...and I'm picking up some Amsoil to do just that. You can't go wrong with either though, both have had great reviews by other orgers

I agree. When I replaced mine at 30 K miles, MT-90 was the only synthetic product that met the Max's specks. I now understand that Amisol is again makine the proper fluid for a Max manual trannie. I will probably stick with MT-90, but you can't go wrong with either.
