do whatever the owners manual says. gears have an engineered gear"backlash" when 2 teeth are in mesh theres a certain engineered amount of "air gap" inbetween the gears that allow oil to get in there which prevents metal on metal contact and shifting and sliding. you never want metal to metal contact always a film of oil. i would not put the thicker oil in there. i had one guy that i did work for bound and determined to put the 90 weight in. i jsut advised to watch the oil very very closely and watch for shavings etc. well its fine cause he ran that in all his trucks for the last 60 years. putting the new tranny in paid very well
