I ordered some RP Synchromax but decided to stick with the factory MTL-2 for now for warranty reasons. Reading some other forums it seems like many thing RP-S is a bit too thin, which is why it seems to shift smoother, but it may not be viscous enough to provide adequate gear protection long term.
Oh, sorry man, MTL as in Redline's MTL. Synchromax should be just fine as well. I found the factory ATF fill thin in the summer here, and temps don't drop below 40F.
