I've got some Redline fluid in my garage right now. Good stuff. I wished I could put it in (stupid tranny fluid drain plug).

Then again, it seems that Rudy has the same plug! And why? that's right. he's brown too!

swapped to Redline ages ago (my car has 20K on it now) and noticed no difference at all. Just my experience, your mileage may vary.
