Thanks Rick. I noticed after I posted the video I put one of the clips out of order. The video shows me adding fluid before I tighten down the cooler line. Definitely tighten the line before adding fluid. Overall, really cool seeing the aero and underside of the car and very easy to change. I went with the 75W85 because a higher viscosity oil may cause premature failure of the pump. Also, the magnet on the fill plug was super clean with little to no metal filings. Please subscribe to our channel. Thanks guys

75W-85 is the same viscosity as 75W-500 at 40C. Adam, your plug in the video showed the typical metal paste that accumulates in these rear axles. It may not be filings but it still generates metal.

You're correct sir but in day to day non track conditions the fluid doesn't get up to temperature. My thought process was the extra strain on the pump due to the higher viscosity could cause it to wear out faster than running the recommended viscosity. Thanks for commenting
