The difference between MTL and MT90 is that MT90 is a higher weight oil

xW90 vs xW80 for MTL.  I have used MTL in Florida during some hot weather

and saw no problem.  Voodoo Bob claims similar experience in SoCal.  I've

not tried the MT90, but I can tell you that the MTL makes a significant

difference in a rough transmission.
