It is a shifting issue that causes me to seek MT90  in the first place. No
manual tranny van I ever drove shifted well into first gear, including my
first two. I switched to MT 90 and it made  HUGE difference.I have the same
shifting issue with this new transmission and I want to eliminate it from
the getgo. Thus the push for MT 90 gear oil.

It appears I will have to order  it online!
