I'll be replacing it with something else - probably Mobil GL4 - once I've paid for the bendix general CT brake pads and Gates drive belts I've just received.

I've just put some Redline MT90 (GL-4) in mine and couldn't be more pleased with the result.
I also added some Nulon Smooth Shift manual transmission treatment for good measure.

I wonder if it's worth just trying the nulon additive with their oil first.

Went to change the accessory drive belts the other day only to find that the gates website lists the wrong belt for the alternator. For anyone wondering you need (or at least my car does) a 4PK885 not a 3PK895

Got the A/C belt changed at least...

Waiting for the correct belt to arrive for the alternator now.
