do not use 10w30 S90-V90 1998

If you are going to do a lot of trailer towing do not use 10w30. The owner's manual specifies 15w40 for trailer towing, mountain driving and high speed travel and any situation that raises oil temps. If you plan on using Mobil 1, 5w40 is a good subsitute. You don't want your existing oil cooler exposed to the oncoming air from below. The oil cooler uses engine coolant to stabilize oil temps.
Also install a transmission cooler.
