>if you want to switch to Redline MT90... <

Having followed this thread for weeks, there is something I don't
understand. According to the Bentley, the vanagon manual transmission is
supposed to take a hypoid API GL-4, Mil-L-2105, SAE 80W, 80W-90 gear oil.
So, I read from that that we should use a hypoid... single weight SAE 80 or
multi weight 80W-90.  Right?  Don't know what Mil-L-2105 is.  My point is,
isn't MT90 a 90 weight gear oil?  Why would we use a heavier single weight
oil than recommended by the manufacturer?  What am I missing here?
