If you're that paranoid about it, go with 80W90, but I can't imagine using 75W90 ever being an issue with a warranty claim (assuming it meets/exceeds all other specs).
Truth be told I already ordered some redline 75w90 when posting this thread based on reviews from people on here. But, I wanted to posts this and see what people thought because I just noticed it myself. Funny thing is my owern's manual says you can use 75w90 in the differential for automatic transmission models (I have a manual transmission) but is the differential for the automatic and manual the exact same thing/part?
