Interesting. I have never seen this product in the amsoil catalogues.

Oh I found it on the web page.

Product code AGT

Quote:

" AMSOIL 80W-90 GL-4 Gear Lube is recommended for marine outboard and
stern drive lower unit gears and bearings. It is also recommended where
the manufacturer specifies GL-4 performance. AMSOIL 80W-90 GL-4 Gear
Lube is not recommended as a replacement for API GL-5 products. "

The nice thing about the MTL is it is the viscousity that VW recommends
for that transmission. However if I was in a warm climate the 80w90
would probably be fine too. The MTL is a 75w80 which is what VW
recommends.

In cold climates I find it works slightly better (75w80 vs 80w90)
