After reviewing the owners manual requirements with the expert at Carroll
Shelby Racing here in Phoenix (the Shelby Mustang should ring a bell) he
recommended the MT-90.  That was good enough for me.  YMMV.

There’s lots of debate in the archives over Redline MTL (75w80) vs.
MT-90 (75w90) in the Vanagon, but nothing that has really helped me
decide between the two.  I live in Vancouver, BC where winter lows are
around 32F and summer highs are rarely exceed 80F.  I’m having some
trouble shifting into 2nd when the trans in cold, so I thought I would
try some Redline.  Any suggestions on what would work best for me???

Thanks,
