Swepco is good but not synthetic. Redline is good semi-synthetic. Personally I run Mobil-1 full synthetic in all my cars with excellent results.

Redline is semi-synthetic?...
I was under the impression that it is made with a G IV/V base stock, making it a full synthetic....

I would say anything is bound to be better than the existing stuff in your gearbox which is likely 19 years old. That being said, I plan on putting Swepco in my 944S before putting it away for the winter, I've had good luck with it in 911's.
