Manual says 85W90, but most online websites are saying the C55 uses 75W140? Was there a change in spec at one point in time?

Prefer OEM/Castrol Synthetic LSD (75W140),

it's good in viscosity/hi heat range, and better for hard use, or heavily run..

So you've had no issues with the different weight?
