Use what the manual calls for. These little 5 speeds are pretty rugged, and I wouldn't worry about burning it up anytime soon. As for your rear diff., it doesn't use 90 weight, it uses a special ford-concocted-never-has-to-be-changed-unless-you-get-water-in-it lubricant that works quite well.

General Rule:If it's not broke, don't go fixing it.
