I have 20W50 in the crank, MTL in the primary and ShockProof Heavy in the trans. This is a good online store to buy Red Line.

Same as Longtimegone for me. They also do a 20w60 but when I contacted their techies they advised the 20w50 for the twincam.

I changed my gearbox oil last week after 5000 miles, I wont bother next time, it was like new, no fileings on the drain plug magnet. Its going 10,000 next time.

Engine oil also had 5000 on it, and it was in pretty good shape also so I will change it out again at 5000. Again no fileings on the drain plug magnet.

The primary looks like new also, and its staying in there until 10,000 miles.

I use shockproof heavy in trans and MTL in primary. Switching to High Performance 20W50 when I get to 3000 miles. Call redline in cali to answer any questions or call www.myoilshop.com and talk to LJ. She is one of the owners. She will give you answers to all your questions.

I don't know if it's the web browser or my eyes that have gone bad, but I sure as heck don't see "MTL" on this website. What am I obviously missing here. I'm not even seeing something that would be abbreviated "MTL."
Hmmm....maybe it's that last shot of Tequila.
