Sorry guys but I am a bit confused here. Is time for me to do the Dif and Tranny fluid change but I read you guys talking about Differential Fuid change at using 75W-90 but when I read the Manual it says you have to use 80W-90 GL-5.

Am I missing something or I misread trough the posts?

Thanks!

The FSM says you can use 80W-90 "For hot climates, viscosity SAE 90 is suitable for ambient temperatures above 0°C (32°F)."

As long as its GL-5, I don't think it would be that big of a deal if you went 75W or 80W-90. I always use Redline 75w-90

Does anyone know if those fins have any fluid running through or is it just for diffusing heat? Please let me know. Thx.

There is NO fluid running thru the fins.
Yes, it's there to just diffuse heat.
