The closest common gear oil is 80w-90 and I think most use that. I tend to stick to what the Japanese engineers suggest. If they didn't know what they were talking about, we wouldn't be driving around in Toyota trucks that last 30 years with 300K miles on them. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> [color:"blue"]My Toyota/Expedition Website[/color] Foreign & Military Toyotas - Expedition 4x4s Our historical explorations & much more Re: Changing gear oil in rear!

It made shifting smooth. Keep the Shiney Side up. Support our troops.
