Also found recently, below freezing, the MTL really needs some warming up. Ah well, car going into storage tomorrow. We are expecting a big storm (20-40 cm if snow) starting Sunday night.

I've seen people mention 75w90 and 75w140 for the diff, does it really matter which? I might switch to a heavier diff oil since I'm in Florida (it's still in the 80s here, almost December, god I love having summer tires all year round!). Might have to get in contact with Redline to see what they recommend.


Also I've noticed the trans is a bit harder to shift on cold mornings (it's gotten to the 40s at night here) but nothing too bad. I try and take it easy until the tires/fluids are nice and warm.
