Watch out for that Redline MTL!!!!  It looks like my differential went becuase the lube was too thick. I just thought I'd throw that out there, I guess I'm not the only one that has encountered this issue (pastey residue).

 I recently put redline MTL into my trans and the diff blew 4 months later... Has to be a coincidence.

I doubt its a coincidence, mine went 4 or 5 months after I put the MTL in as well... Coincidence... I doubt it!

i ran mtl for the better part of a year in my 99 csvt before the accident and the diff was just fine. iirc the mtl is not as think as what ford recommends. is it safe to assume that your tranny is the one terry was recently speaking of?

Terry seems to think it's bad stuff.
I try to trust the general masses, but sometimes they can be wrong....
