What are the differences between the above viscosities? I thought there were equal in working temp and differed only on the cold temp side.
However, 06 RAV4 4WD service manual specifies SAE 90 for above 0F and 80W90 for below 0F in transfer and rear diff. Being in south, and towing, looks like I should do 90.
Initially I was going to use redline 75w90 that I have, but now I have doubts. When I used redline in my previous car, subaru, it diveloped a diff whine between 30000 and 60000 miles on redline. Could be mechanical issue though as there was a lot of fine metal at 30000.
