OK, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I'll keep an eye on it. It seems fine, no grinding or noise or anything, apart from the occasional reluctance to go into gear.
It's been a while since I converted from Honda MTL to RedLine, but I thought I did a viscosity comparison first, and they were pretty close. Also, when the RedLine first went in, there was a major reduction in shifting effort, especially when cold. That is, it felt lighter and less viscous than the MTL, rather than heavier.
