I think you would be surprised, very few people run straight 75w90 in the MT-82 unless it is track duty or a built transmission. And for the ones that do, how many miles in cold weather? Have they put 100k on it? A few notes: A) Calimer primarily recommends this fluid for their Stage 3...

Like to gamble I see. The Syncromesh is fine, but the Valvoline 75w90 isn't even remotely close to the Ford spec in viscosity. If someone recommended this, it is likely for track days in extreme temperatures. Your engine may also run with 20w50 motor oil, but I don't recommend it. Ford...

Be careful about using thicker fluids in the MT-82 especially in cold weather. A lot of the early MT-82 failures in 2011-2012 were partly due to Ford initially using a relatively thick fluid (75w90). This is the reason Ford changed to the thin XT-11-QDC fluid. Here are the viscosities of some...

A few notes on changing the manual transmission fluid since I didn't see this info in any forums. The standard way is to jack the car up on 4 jackstands so it is level and you can easily check fluid levels. But there is an alternative method using 1 jack stand. A few notes on changing the...

+1 for Motul Multi DCTF. Better than stock, the shifts are sooo buttery smooth with it in warm weather. For cold weather though, I would stick to Ford's recommended fluid XT-11-QDC. I noticed a few rough shifts with the Motul Multi-DCTF below 40F, probably because my transmission has some wear...
