Redline MT-90 did wonders on my transmission.

if you're just lubing the cams for initial startup, there is a white petroleum based product that you can get from most parts stores. I forget its name, but its not too expensive, and blends with the oil.

I use redline MTL because was the only GL-4 redline they had. But it is great
