Hey everyone,
Kind of an odd request, but I was hoping someone with a V6-M6 could look up something in their owner's manual for me. What fluid does it specify for the Manual gearbox?

I'm asking because we use Redline Oils in our race car and I was, not arguing, but wanting to run a very different gear oil than the engineers at redline were advocating. And they kept insisting I was wrong about the oil the V8 TR-6060 is designed for and I was like it's right here in the owner's manual. They think the owner's manual actually has the V6 and V8 gear oils listed backwards.

So I'm just curious if the V6 owner's manual (I thought they were identical) says the same, or if there is a misprint, or what.

Thanks,

JasonD
