It's a good idea to double-check your level but probably no worries.

Hmm, to my knowledge I thought MT-90 was thicker than the original stuff? Wish I knew what the original stuff were. Might try to use MT-85 next.

I'm sure this new "sound" just started though, if it was due to the new fluid, wouldn't I have heard it 1,900 miles ago? Also, it's more like a soft grind/rumble than whine.

P.s. Never done a burnout before, but dealership did try to push-start my car in the past lol.
