Is this the oil that looks like Pepto-Bismol? We run one version of the Redline Shockproof oil in our Riley & Scott Mk 3 LMP675 car at work, though i'm not sure which viscosity. I pulled the tranny apart last week to regear it for a race at Carolina Motorsports Park this coming weekend. The oil looked just like Pepto-Bismol (without the stink of regular gear oil). But this stuff is amazing. It adhears to every surface of the gears and dog rings. Whereas regular gear oil would come of like nothing in the parts washer, I had to scrub this oil off the tranny internals. Another cool characteristic of this oil is that when it gots hot, it breaks down and deposit sulfites onto the hot part. So, especially for you racers, you can inspect your transmission and see the "hot spots" since they will have a yellow goo deposited on them. But, this only happens at very high temperatures that a street tranny will probably never see.
Overall, I would certainly recommend Redline oils. I know they'll certainly be going in my tranny and differential as soon as I get them in my 240. :-)
