Default MTX Fluid

Ok so i have this written down somewhere but Im at work right now and need to stop on the way home to get some things and just wanted to ask. What kind of fluid/oil do I need to get for my mtx to fill it up as much as it needs to? Also how much do I need to buy? Im starting my swap tonight YAY!!!!! and this is pretty much the last thing I need to get. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I use the RedLine MTL - its a SAE 70W80 API GL-4 Gear Oil.

My Shop Manual Calls for 3 to 4 Qts

If go to Redline website you can submit a request for recommended Lube - be sure to elaborate on how you drive your car.

Not trying to knock the ATF+4 which is recommended by the Factory - but I had issues with the ATF+4 vaporizing and/or Foaming on me.

Also I found most of my competitors running Redline Oil and Lube.

I have not tried those - I originally started off with visiting the Dodge Dealer to buy tranny Lube - then after having issues with foaming and vaporizing and noticing my competition used RedLine - I swapped over.
Originally I used Amsoil for my Engine Oil and ATF for the Tranny - but found Redline has a complete line of products that meet my needs
