Okay, over-cautious with that warning. The RedLine site says GL-5 lubes
shorten life, and both MTL and MT-90 are GL-4's.
MT-90 is fine in my diff, but it wasn't making noise before, I just thought
it was cheap insurance. Not so much leakage as seepage, which is okay by me
as long as it doesn't spray on the poppy fields when I'm off-roading on a
private road by the reservoir... (sorry, OT there) I haven't excavated the
steering box yet, although from the price of them it'd be a good candidate.
I'd go with the MT-90, as they say it is thicker than MTL. (not so runny
thru any seal flaws). But you know what, 70-85W vs. 70-90W, I bet I
couldn't pick them in the blind taste test. Fergus O

So you think MT 90 is a bad idea, and recommend MTL, or just stay with
regular gear oil? If so, what weight?
How is the MT 90 working in the diff? Any leakage? What are you using in
the steering box?
