Redline "mtl" or speciality formulations "mtl-p"

[airbus]

Does anybody know which one will provide better shifts for my 2001 Honda Civic manual transmission? Also, is one safer in terms of better wear control?

MTL P, or S.F. in the next lighter grade [synchroglide?] would be my choice.

The redline makes a huge difference in my 02 civic ex 5spd in the cold(goes into gear better). Much much better than the stock factory fill, but I am sure anything is really. At 14 bucks for 2 quarts(youll only need 1.7), its prevantative maitanence for your car.

I had great results using Red Line MTL in my '90 Integra and '95 Civic. never got a try to use any SpecForm formula while I owned those cars.

For the record, the viscosities for the fluids in question are:

Spec. Form's MTL-P 12.5
Red Line Oil MTL 10.6
Spec. Form's Synchroglide 9.5

Given how far north you are, airbus, I'd opt for the Synchroglide.
