Yeah apparently FFL-3 and MTF-LT-5 are identical - early on there were problems sourcing LT5 and so some used FFL3.

I've always run into consistency problems on redline's website with regards to recommended fluids (MTL? ATF? D4? D6?) and so just end up using OEM stuff.

Another trivia point - the 1M gearbox is the same as the N55 manual gearbox.
