How the hell can you have a W&W badge and not know where the FAQs are?

It's 80w90 is ok

I have Motul in mine.. Not worth the money IMO since I don't race or track competitively.

I will go back to Amsoil in future

If people use 75w90 without issue then your question has already been answered. I used to spoon feed good information to guys like you who are too lazy (or too ignorant) to figure this stuff out but now, I just stab you in the eye with the spoon. Use the 80w90, it'll be fine. Just make sure it's GL5.

What part of "is ok" don't you seem to understand?

Your manual and the FAQ both list the factory required oil as being SAE90 GL5 or better, there's no more direct answer than that.

I think you asked a stupid question that you already knew the answer to in the hopes that your anonymous S2k friends would chime in and say "yeah, use it " so you could walk away with a warm n' fuzzy feeling before changing your diff oil. Instead, we just called on you asking a stupid question and told you where to find the answer (the FAQ). Again, we've been about as direct with you as we can be. If you don't like the answers, don't ask questions.
