Default Redline Shockproof Heavy - Question

Just put this in the tranny, and I need to know if I should run it a while then drain & re-fill, 'cause I had been running Amsoil75-90 gear oil. Or will it be ok to just run it to the next change interval.

No need to drain and refill. It will be OK with the other. You will have drained almost all of the Amsoil during the change.

You probably won't notice much difference because you are used to a good synthetic gear oil to start with. But, I'm a big redline fan. Because it's the same price.

You're right, I can't really tell much difference. Maybe a little quiter shifting, but that could be me. That is the coolest lookin' oil I've ever seen!
