You won't tear it up. Personally if you're not taking it for a swim often I'd run a heavier 75w140 just on account of the forces when those things ratchet.

Or if the manufacturer specified a grade use that.

They just say w/e your manufacture suggests. If heavier is better for the locker and for the 4.88s that will be going in to compensate for my 36s
