I dont know where you live, but if you live in an area where the temperature gets below the teens for extended periods of time you will have some problems with the 85w140 because it gets way to thick. A friend of mine from central Canada used to use the lighter weight 85w90 and in the winter would have to hold the clutch in for ten minutes while the engine was running for if he tried to let it out cold it would kill the engine because the transmission would not turn. Also I have had customers get strange clunking noisings using 85w140 in their diffs
