I've got Redline 75W-90NS in mine. Didn't notice any difference, but then I changed mine out at 20k miles. Very early, but I wanted to make sure than any of the crap that scrubbed off of the gears during initial break-in got flushed out.

Sorry for the confusion. I use a blend of 2 qts 75W-90NS and 1 qt Lightweight Shockproof gear oil. It made the shifts smoother, and the trans less likely to pop out of second. The 6sp trans tends to develop this trouble. The blend seems to help things out a bit.
