I believe this is now Vanagon legend, given great gravity by this list
because it was received first from Daryl (RIP).  Note this was not Daryl's
wisdom, it was repeated as something that some Redline rep said TO Daryl.

If someone wanted to research this again, rather than call AA to ask
Daryl's son what someone might have once said to Daryl, it might be good to
call Redline and find anyone there who would confirm that story.  Several
years ago, I talked to people at Redline who had no idea what that
"reformulation" story was about and assured me MT-90 is still appropriate
for our transaxles.

There have been various discussions (and no doubt will be again) about what
the BEST oil is for our beasts, but I believe that one is and should be in
the mix.
