Re: (northvibe)

I have all my components in a single fairly contained cabinet. So I bought a generic 8" fan and hung it behind the components. It's plugged into the switched outlet on the back of the receiver. Now when the components are on the fan is blowing air accross them.

Hi Dave,I've been doing some reading the the redline products, and further reading on the forum. Why are you recommending MT-90 over the 75W140NS? The 75W140NS is GL-5 rated and the MT-90 is GL-4. Maybe 75W140NS was not available when you made your decision?See http://www.redlineoil.com/prod...ID=18...
