Redline Superlight Shockproof for rear end with LSD additive, Redline MT90 for tranny, Redline 10w30 for engine.

Premixing read FAQ and search. There have been more than enough discussions about it.

I have used both SuperLight shock Proof and MT-90 in trannys and rear ends.

Superlight is by far the better of the two and should be considered a GL5 gear oil, while MT-90 is closer to a GL4. On average a 2 HP recovery from drive train losses can be found when using the superlight in the tranny & rear end.

Now remember there is also Light Weight Shock Proof and Standard weight shock proof. Neither should be used in a FC application and should not be confused with superlight weight shock proof.
