⛔★ Super cold weather car seems like it has a solid axle??

I just noticed when its very cold out (it was -10 the other day) and the car is cold too, if I take a sharp turn out of my driveway tires start to slip and make weird noise. Kinda hard to explain the sensation but the whole car feels like it has solid axles. I don't know how else to explain it. Almost like my differential isn't working in the front or the rear or both.

Is this normal in very cold weather?

Goes way really fast even after a mile or so of driving, I'm guessing gear oil warm up in the t-case or rear dif. I did just replace the rear dif, t-case and trans oil not even 2 months ago before it started getting cold. Dif/t-case diaqueen, and trans mt85.

Where did you buy your gear oil? Some differentials can be picky what kind of oil you use

I used Dif/t-case Diaqueen (OEM mitsu Evo gear oil), and trans Red Line mt85. Bought both online since you can't get it locally
