Vanagonauts,
Just a quick report on my switch to MT-90. I changed over from dino oil in
my 91 manual trans Multivan about 5 weeks ago. I have since been pleasantly
surprised on the few mornings in the 20 degree Fahrenheit range to find the
gearbox shifting like on a summer day.

Anyone who lives in the great white north knows how annoying that feeling of
moving gears through molasses is. I'm happy to report that this is the cure.

For those who have never changed the gearbox oil I posted a write-up at:
