NOTE: Trans is same as in Ford Focus SVT - differing gear ratios.
OEM product listed for MINI is: Texaco MINI MTF 94, SAE 75W80, API GL-4 (as per label on 25L drum).
I'm a fan of synthetics, and would like to use them in the trans as well as the motor.
a) Don't know what the Texaco product is (syn/hybrid or other)
b) Looked at some of the moly stuff (Schaeffer) here seemed interesting.
c) Am considering products from Amsoil & Redline.
d) Do either Amsoil or Redline contain molly?
e) Is moly a desirable additive?
I am seeking opinions &/or experience with these products or others, &/or recommended additives.
Amsoil:
Synthetic Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid (MTF) SAE 5W-30
Redline: MTL 70W80 GL-4 Gear Oil (SAE 5W30/10W30)
