Default Redline Fluids

I orderd 2 quarts of MTL 70w80 and 2 quarts of MT-90 75W90. Searcing this topic isnt as easy as some others seeing as we have a color called redline. I think i remeber reading somewhere i needed to order both of those and mix them to get the correct weight for the tranny. Is this true or was i just dreaming.

Nissan calls for 75W-85 oil. Many owners suggest using Redline fluid, but the do not offer the exact oil weight so this requires a mix if using Redline fluid (2 quarts each):

Redline MTL: 70W-80
Redline MT-90: 75W-90

Edit: I guess these 2 sites don't like to play together?

I ended up mixing MTL and MT90 because of what I read too, but I think if I had it to do over again, I'd just go with straight MT90. The Redline oil site actually lists Nissan under the product description for MT90. You should be fine either way though.
