Red Line MT90 synthetic manual transmission lubricant has the same GL-4 spec as Castrol Syntorq LT and is usually around $8 a quart.

Re:Are you Made of Money?

The Castrol syntorq is the same rip off as the oil pressure sending unit that you have to buy from Chrysler for $197 that comes in a Cummins box with a Cummins part number that sells for about $23 from Cummins. I don't mind paying for something because we all got to make a living but when I'm being gouged, that's when I get upset.

Re:Are you Made of Money?

Sticker on the tranny cover says, Castrol Syntorq. It also has a GM #, but I don't have the number handy right now.
