75W140 is too thick for a FC rear end

The Mobil1 is okay if you can keep the temp down. Its high sufate content, tends to break down at around 225F whcih can cause problems with the syncros in the FC tranny

I have used 75W90 but what is best is either Redline, Royal Purple, Neo Synthetics in the correct weight, or straight 90W unnless you are seeing below freezing temps.
