Subject:Re: Redline MTL--important!

Red Line Oil recommends only the MT-90 for the Vanagon transaxle due the
its higher loads.  MTL is intended for vehicles that use motor oil or
ATF in their manual transmissions or transaxles.

I have used MTL in my MGB and MT-90 in the Vanagon for about five years
now.  Both shift easier, and the synthetics don't thicken as badly in
cold weather.  I still change it every 50,000 miles.

Be careful with additives, some can be too slick for proper syncro ring
friction, resulting in grinding shifts.
