Motul Gear 300 75W90, any experiences?
Has anyone used Motul Gear 300 in their transmission and care to share their impressions. I've used Amsoil MTF in the past, which worked well, but looking to try Motul's offering.
Edit: Motul Gear 300 is safe to use in the differential, but I'm asking about using it in the transmission given that it is a GL5.

This oil has proved its qualities and resistance to extreme conditions.

We would not hesitate to use this MOTUL 75W-90 GEAR 300 gear oil on our own personal vehicles, and neither should you. Be sure to check your owners manual before selecting oil products for street applications. This is a 1 liter bottle, so be sure to order enough for your specific application. API GL-5. MIL-L-2105D.

I recommend that you stay with a MTF or MTL for synchronized transmissions. If the Motul 75W-90 is a GL5, then it may have EP additives that will attack yellow metals in your tranny. If you want to try a 75W-90 gear oil, then look for a GL4 rated product.

I use it in my diff as well. Been using it for the last 2 years that I've had my car with extremely positive results. Motul's 75w90 in the diff, Honda MTF in the tranny and generally Mobil 1 in the engine, unless I plan to track it, then it's Motul's in the engine for the event.

Ah sorry, I thought it was transmission oil according to their description:

But I guess that excludes synchro transmissions?

Religiously used Gear300 in my gearbox beginning from my 2nd oil change. UOA at the 3 year mark (which includes about 80K kms of street driving and track days) was excellent with little wear apparent. I would highly recommend it.

Yes, same question. Can you post the UOA?
