I've used Redline MTL in the past and think that its pretty good.

I've got castrol SMX in my R380 at the moment and that seems good to!

(The change is a bit slow when the box is cold but I'd rather that than bunging in some ATF crap!)

Hal-farts sell SMX!

I have used Castrol SMX for the life of my R380 and its had some serious abuse over the last 10 years. Did have to have it rebuilt a couple of years ago as 3rd gear syncros went, not surprising really.
