I've only used the Redline stuff, MT-90 works great. If the Amsoil gear oil is rated as a GL-4 gear oil, then it should be fine as well. In my experience, any GL-4 oil is better than any GL-5 oil (synthetic or not), and the synthetic GL-4 oils are the best, in a manual transmission (i.e synchromesh application).

i do like amsoil's products in general, but i haven't tried the gearbox oil yet.

i run generic GL4(sta-lube) in one of my trucks, the other has redline MT90 in it. the nicest thing about the MT90 is that it smells nothing like gear oil.
