Its quieter, shifts smoother and easier to find neutral in both of mine.

Redline MTL Has the additive in it that protects the compensator

Interesting...do you have a source for that info? I have a brand new comp and have had three go bad on me so I'd like to look into that.

Yes, Redline MTL spec sheet shows it has an EP (Extreme Pressure) additive. Some of the other lubes may have that, I just want to know for sure it's in there. I'm sure you are well aware of the Compensator gets hell beat out of it.
This explains it way better than I could: Gear oil is a lubricant made specifically for transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials in ... EP additives which contain phosphorus/sulfur compounds are corrosive to ... The higher an oil's GL-rating, the more pressure can be sustained without any metal-to-metal contact taking place between transmission components.
