It's a transmission oil that Redline makes for racing. I don't believe that
they even bother to give it a GL rating. It looks a lot like a srawberry
milkshake.

Here's a quote from the web page:

SHOCKPROOFTM GEAR OIL - recommended for heavily -loaded racing
differentials and transmissions which see shock-loading. ShockProof contains
a unique solid dispersion which cushions gear teeth to help prevent tooth
breakage and allows the use of lower viscosities. Available as SuperLight,
LightWeight, and Heavy grades.
