Interesting... Thanks for the info. What's so bad about it? Is it true
that it eats synchros? Has Chrysler changed their recommendation since
the '95 FSM was printed?
Not trying to question your findings, I'm sure the Redline is what works
best for you. I just know that my requirements are a bit different (I
don't race and don't really care about lightning-quick power shifting). I
*do* however care a lot about longevity and durability, and if the GL-5
causes extra wear I'm kind of pissed about it being listed in the service
manual.
Also, what's the "BG fluid"? I have to admit I've never heard of that.
Is it just another brand name, or some kind of magic mystery oil?
Thanks,
Jason
