Just stick to with OEM or an OEM equivalent fluid.

I've been running the Redline 75W85 in my '10 3.5 6MT. Changed out the factory fill at 15k and changed it again at 30k. The fluid seems to work pretty well, but my transmission is still a bit notchy. I'm thinking that it maybe isn't quite broken in yet, as my driving is nearly all highway.

Update:
Just changed my MTF and used AMSOIL and I feel the difference like night and day. The clumpyshift is now smooth and even driving is more smooth

Amsoil doesn't make the recommended 75w85. Which viscosity did you go with?

Interesting. Perhaps I'll have to try that on the next change.
