You have 2 issues going on. You should try to keep them separate.

Running hard on a hot humid day. Your engine oil temps will go up.

The diff. The hottest temps I've seen so far is 255F without the diff cooler on. The noises. How loud is loud? Did the noises quite it down after the diff cooled off? My diff will make some noises and pops now and then making slow turn tight turns.

For the right fluid level with the Z1 cover. Use the bottom side port. Put fluid in until it starts running out.

What did the old gear lube look like when you changed it?
