I switched to Mobil 1 15w50 engine oil and Redline MT90 (MTL, don't recall
which) in the trans two years ago. Neither has leaked a drop since. I
can't say the Redline made much difference in shifting (a bit when cold maybe),
but the Mobil definitely helped reduce lifter noise after sitting for a week or
more.

Of course, if you already have a slight leak with dino, it may get worse with
synth...
