GL4

[jimbo74]

ok, so there are a ton of threads on this, I know... But I can't make heads or tails of it....


So here is my question Directly.... I need a GL4 for my Lancer trans, but it should also apply to Toy trans as well.....


for the record, my Mitsubishi says: SAE 75W − 90W or 75W − 85W conforming to API classification GL-4


Looking @ Redline MTL, MT85, and MT90


What's the difference?


They both look exactly the same other than what they describe as being used for.... price is the same

send redline an inquiry

^^ What he said, call 'em on Monday. I would guess MT-90 because the description says "Popular in Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, VW/Audi, Lotus Elise/Exige, Toyota".

[jimbo74]

well, I would think that the MT85 would actually be more spec, as my FSM does specifically say or 75W − 85W (also, it says this is for the Lancer EVO, mine isn't an EVO though)


or the MT90 as well, as that is the other spec SAE 75W − 90W

call the dealership, ask them what they recommend

how does it relate to the climate? I mean which one would I want more for what environment?

It doesn't matter that much for gear oils. Just pick and never look back!  Go with MT90...
