Ken,

I've had zero issues with the Redline MT90 gear oil. Not sure about the weight, but from searching the RX8 forum, this gear oil was recommended for the car more than any other. When I ran Mobil 1 synthetic 75W90 previously, I noticed a fair amount of heat in the passenger compartment around the center tunnel by the shifter and parking brake. With the Redline oil, that heat is gone.

No issues with the car whatsoever. She has 65K miles and counting.
