Rearend Lube

A couple of weeks ago I changed the rearend lube in my 2010 F-150 Lariat. I re-filled it with a synthetic 75W-90 lube. The other day I found that I should have used 75W-140. Should I change it out to the correct stuff, or just let it go?

the second number is the viscosity of the oil when it is HOT outside, or your pulling a trailer and working the rear end harder. If you were in Canada, it might not make any difference... Since your in Texas, I think the THICKER lube would be better in the long run. Not an immediate concern today.
