You'd be fine with the MT-90 alone.

I'd suggest maintaining use of the 50/50 blend of Redline MTL and MT90. Why? Because Nissan technical specs still call for a 75w85 lubricant for maximum performance in any climate. Keep documentation of your use of this synthetic combo, as this will maintain not only your tranny, but also your warranty!
