yes, if you race or in adversive conditions.

no problems in my 03 stang...no leakage or anything else. as on now ford still uses that gold/yellow stuff. none of the people on www.mustangworld.com have had any problems...nor do those on www.f150online.com. maybe the ford fluid is a bit different???

Red Line D4 ATF can be used in any atf type situation, or when a manual transmission requires dexronIII/mercon V type fluids.

mobil 1 75W140 does and exceeds it, but you would be wise to use some friction mod esp in your case with the stock trac loc differential

Mobil 1 Synthetic 75W140 meets all ford specs...if you have a trac-loc, then you will need a bottle of ford friction modifier added to the mobil 1. mobil 1 does have friction mod in it, but it is recommended that you put the ford stuff in, too.

any places online that you guys can link me to where I can buy this stuff...for some reason, I haven't been able to find it here locally. Thank!

Thanks for your response... No proof that the synthetics case problems, but that doesn't help my mind rest... Is there any way we can try to get to the bottom of this debate between Tremec and Red Line? Be nice to dispell a myth...

Been quite a debate, lately. Tremec recommends GM Synchromesh, DexronIII/Mercon V, and Mobil 1 ATF, and claims that Red Line D4 ATF and other synthetics will actually destroy the blocker adhesives in most of their transmissions (T3650). Red Line claims there is absolutely no proof of D4 causing...

I would assume that to be so...much thicker than any ATF. It's also recommended by Tremec as a good lube for ATF type manual transmissions.

good to see another local guy here... heard that PE actually binds to hot metal...is this true...or is that the Moly (speaking of Red Line Oil).

I would use 10W30 Mobil 1 in your application. Been running the same in our Volvo with great results.

I have a 2003 Mustang GT and I only use Red Line 5W30 in the engine...did this since new. Before than I had a 2001 F-150 with the same 4.6L SOHC, and I ran Red Line 10W30. IMO, it is the best protection you can buy for your engine.

Royal Purple, aside from the race version at nearly $8 per qrt, is a blend. Mobil 1 will protect better, IMO.

had the complete opposite observation (that the red line is quieter) in Ford 4.6L SOHC engines.

In my manual transmission, which will protect better during high heat applications? GM Synchromesh is thicker and a blend and Mobil 1 is thinner and a full synthetic. This is going in my T3650 (2003 Mustang GT).
