I can't tell you that the Redline MTL is suitable for every tranny in
every car ever made. The data point I have is my Swedish sedan, which
calls for *either* engine oil (10W30 or 10W40) or gear oil (75W90 or
something like that) in the tranny. I think trannys are pretty tough.
Heck, I've even tried ATF in mine!
So, nothing's guaranteed, but I think that a lubricant explicitly
designed for the environment of a transmission is more likely to
perform better than a lubricant that was designed for a significantly
different job.
