From your other thread:

"LLandjet: Mobil Delvac synthetic gear oil 75W90. Lufteknic in Richmond will overnight it to you.

Cold Hands: http://www.ogracing.com/catalog/2-Car/34-Oils-Lubricants/Page=5

OG racing has it"

I'm going to use this on the 964. But heard the Redline was good too. Swepco makes a blend for G-50s too but most seem to be switching to the Mobil.

A lot of discussion on this one. Many threads on Rennlist. If there is any concensus ( which there really isn't ) it's to go with synthetic in a G50 and mineral in the 915's.

for what its worth- my G50 shifts very nicely now....it has Mobil 1 in it (28K- never been changed since new- in February, 1987)

My 2 cents...

Then I'd question how well the rest of the car was maintained over the last 22 years (28K or not)

Been using the Red Line for a while now. No complaints.

Its 100x better than the Mobil 1 that was in there before.

Hey there, Mat! Welcome back.

You note the reason for editing that you wanted to add more. Did you initially say that Red Line was only 80x better than Mobil 1?
