Which Redline MTF to order and how many?

Hey, long time since Ive been on here. Been out of the Civic scene for a while and got a few questions. Im ready to order the Redline MTF, but there are about 3 different weights/kinds. Which ones. Also, how many bottles will I need, if I need more than one.
Thanks In Advance. I did search, but nothing regarding the different kinds.

100,000kms on honda fluid is a very long time. Honda fluid is not very shear stable, it thins out pretty quickly. As a result, you should notice much smoother shifting, and come winter time, the car will probably be much easier to shift as well. Thats one of the main advantages of MTL over Honda fluid, is the cold weather performance. Those are the two main differences i experience, smoother shifting and cold weather shifting improved.
