Jeep: RedLine MT-90 oil for manual transmission?

Redline MT-90 is ideal for the AX-5 and AX-15 transmission, I'm using it
in my own AX-15. You're right that GL-5 is not good for the synchros,
the sulphur-based additives contained in most GL-5 lubes are harsh on
soft yellow metals like brass.

P.S. Bill's webpage is outdated as it is still showing that GL-5 is
recommended for the AX-5/15. Chrysler rescinded that GL-5
recommendation probably 5-6 years ago, changing it as you said to GL-3
which does not contain the harmful additives present in GL-5.

Hi Bill:

Thanks for posting that info ... but it's outdated. Chrysler recommended
GL-3 in their earlier jeeps, then switched to GL-5 when that new spec came
out. Afterwards, they learned that the sulfur and sulfite additives in GL-5
lubes are highly corrosive to brass synchro rings, which are found in the AX
5/15 trannies.

Chrysler rescinded the GL-5 recommendation about 8 years ago, and has
switched back to GL-3. Check with your dealer service dept ... they will
verify it.

Does anybody know if Redline MT-90 (synthetic, GL-4) has sulfur or sulfite
additives?

Thanks!!

Neither Redline's MTL nor MT-90 contain any of the harsh sulphur-based
additives, both are great for the AX-5. MTL for really cold areas,
MT-90 for the rest of us.
