Which oils did you find better for your gearbox, and how was this determination done vs. RL and/or other oils ?

I'd be comfortable changing diff lubes, but not necessarily MTFs.
Just to clarify: Since BMW spec'ed the LT-03 for MT's - which is an ATF, and this Dex VI seem an ATF pretty darn close to LT-03, why would this not work in an MT ? (not that I plan to use it, but trying to understand your point).
