Interesting. I have never seen this product in the amsoil catalogues. Oh I found it on the web page. http://www.amsoil.com/products/agr.html 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)
