Just for general info really, but I thought I'd give Redline MTL a go as the general consensus is the OEM oil is best. Just wanted to experiment and find out for myself.
I haven't noticed any change in cold shift quality but when hot, the shift feels more oily and slick, if that makes sense....slightly less chatter/whine noise also
I think VAG have changed the manual fluid recently because the last 3 bottles I bought, it was mega thin......almost like automatic trans fluid. Didn't fancy putting that stuff in.
