Subject:      redline mtl vs. mt-90
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


according to the syncro.org site, redline recommends mt-90 for
high-temperature operation in the transaxle.  i will soon be changing out my
tranny oil, and volkscafe stocks the mtl only.  can anyone who operates a
syncro in a high-temperature environment (i.e., the desert southwest, the
intermountain west, the gobi desert), or anyone else, tell me if the mtl is
going to be enough for a hot, long trip this summer?  is that difference
between 75w80 and 75w90 all that much?


note that "normally" our van is driven in cooler, rather than particularly
hot, temperatures.


thanks.
