75w140 in the front diff too?

Could you run 75w140 in the front diff too? Would it make it "lock up" more? The reason I ask is because I have a high end radio controlled 4wd truck. If you wanted looser (more open) diffs you'd run a thin oil in them (good for tight turns/racing). If you wanted the diffs almost locked (like for mud/snow), you'd run a super extra thick oil in them. Also, you can run a weight of anything in between, so that you get the diff action you desire.

Are our Can Am front diffs anything at all like this? Or it just doesn't work like that. Will running anything other than 80w90 in the front mess it up? I'm not going to run out and do it. I just wanted some thoughts.

Change my avatar?

I tried to search the posts, but I couldn't find anything about how to change my avatar.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Brake pin boots installation

Anyone have tips on getting the pin boots back in to the groove on the caliber?

I've tried just about everything. I just fill it up caliper grease but water gets in.

Dealer vs Factory

Does anybody know if the factory or the dealer is responsible for adding the fluids (oil, front diff, etc.) for a new purchased sxs? After 150 miles, front diff started grinding. Checked front diff and oil was pretty low. Took it to different dealer than
where I purchased it and they said dealer adds the fluids for a new purchase. Not sure what will happen if diff is fried & BRP
disputes.
