RedLine is a brand of very expensive "boutique" lubricants - mostly available thru your better high-performance vendors. You want their product called Redline MTL. It's intended for use where 90W is specified. The downside is that the DMC transaxle holds about a gallon of the stuff, so it comes out as a $50 oil change. Upside is you really only need to do it every 10 years or so. . . Actually last time I bought the Valvoline stuff it wasn't much cheaper than that. The DMC factory spec is 90W gear oil.

Often they will free up after it gets hot a few times.
