Redline  MT 90 is the best overall oil for a colder climate..won't cure
all the aches & pains...but its sure worth a try...Just remember that
every time it grinds into a gear, it takes a bit off of the 2nd gear
syncro teeth. Any thing you can do will prolong its life before needing a
rebuild...(I will like it, but you sure won't)
 I have some customers using Redlne MTL in the Yukon Territory
successfully ...may not be the EXACT oil , but its close and a bit
thinner than the MT90 for better cold shifting...Good Luck & shift slowly
