I run shock-proof heavy in the tranny and 20-60 in the engine during the summer, never had a problem and the engine is nice and quiet

I am going to give that Redline a shot next time I do an oil change.

Amazon has a complete Redline oil change kit. You get a hat too. Might try that next oil change.

Alot of HD dealerships carry it now; mine does. Also, many independent shops are starting to stock it. You can always try and request it from them; otherwise, Summit.

Which one do you buy? If you look at the power pack or Motorcycle oil, it says 80W with shockproof. If you look at Transmission oils, then you see the Redline Shockproof Heavy 75/250 but flows like 90 wt. Kinda confusing. I've been told they are the same, But I've bought both and the one in the black or dark brown bottle that says heavy is heavier oil. That's what I'm running now. Am I wrong?

After tearing my tranny apart yesterday due to a serious leak of Redline shockproof I thought I would spot here. I was advised by out shop mech not to use Redline anymore as they were scooping out chunks or it from my tranny. The needle bearings on my 5ht gear walked and caused the tranny to have a serious leak. The only advice I got so far besides buy a new tranny is do not use Redline shockproof in my tranny anymore.
