Hi Bob -
I am hoping you are confused... you definitely don't want MT-90 in
your diff... it will ruin it in short order. If you have... change it
out right now!!
Ned -
MT-90 is simply slightly heavier than MTL. For people who live in
warmer climates, it will work a little better. Other than that it is
basically the same as MTL.
