Subject: What is "Redline MTL?"
   Date: (none)

I've seen several recommendations for this "Redline MTL" in one's gearbox but
no description of it.  What does it do better than 'regular' gear oil?  Is it
a gear oil or a gear oil additive?  If it's an additive, what kind of gear oil
goes with it?  How expensive and difficult to obtain is it?  Is anyone running
it in a very hot climate (it is now officially summertime in Texas!), where
80W-90 would be preferable to 75W-90 (the two viscosities recommended in the
owner's handbook).  Has anyone been running it long enough to see what comes
*out* of the gearbox before a change?  Does Mazda have any opinion on its use?

Please respond to me directly, and I'll summarize to the list.
