Swapped the transmission and diff fluid today to get ready for my trip up to ZDayZ. Used OEM transmission fluid but the dealership only had 75w-140 oil for the diff and even though the guy told me it's what they use in all their diffs, I knew the manual called for 80w-90. I ended up going to Lowe's performance to pick up some redline 75w-90 instead. Got the chance to talk to Jeremy Lowe (professional drifter) and Mike Lowe (dad) a bit which was cool.
Still don't understand why they don't carry the recommended weight for their own vehicles? He said they've never put 80w-90 in the cars, it was always 75w-140. Doesn't seem right.
