What do you all prefer for maximum buttery smoothness. The pentosin, motul or something else?

I've switched to Motul Gear 300 and it is awesome once the transmission is all warm but it still has problems when it hasn't warmed up yet. Better than stock but I think a thinner fluid like Pentosin is going to perform much better in that warming up period. I've got some on the way that I'm going to try next. I'll report back how I like it compared to the Motul.

I've tried Redline's MT-90, and liked it until the weather turned cold (into the low 40s F/5 Celsius or so). Others have reported good results With MT-85. I've had great luck with Pentosin in temps as low as -23 C/-10 F. Good stuff, but It's not cheap to buy.

Pentosin is working well for me in the near freezing temperatures.

Pentosin is the name. So glad I change to that fluid.
