Default What kind of gear oil are you guys using on your MT trans?

Just curious in what kind of gear oil you guys are running.

I've been with redline for years and recently looking into Motul Gear 300. Motul is a few bucks more per quart. Or if there are other options...let me know!

Thanks

If you still have the 60k powertrain warranty I would be wary of which oil you use because if a problem were to arise and you took it in for warranty work and the wrong gear oil is used they will deny the warranty work. just a heads up

hmmm....does this apply for a 2004.5 Z? I purchased the car used and I have 34400 on the clock. Not sure if I still have any warranty.
