Toyota/Lexus transfer case fluid "Genuine Gear Oil LF 75W“ 08885-81080 equivalent
Bingo - I used the redline variant for the diffs. I do plan on using the OEM toyota transfer case oil when the time comes for that drain & fill however.

Same for me with transfer case oil. Another good choice for front and rear differentials is Amsoil Severe Gear 75w-90. And the squeeze tubes are real convenient.

I got 6 quarts of the OEM diff gear oil GL-5 75W-85
(Oem# 08885-02506) for $178 shipped to CA from BAM Wholesale Parts

My local TOYOTA dealer wanted $110 per quart.

Planning to do engine oil, Transmission fluid drain and filter replace along with the front and rear diff and transfer case the same day. Just gotta find the time to get under the truck and do it all.

Im a huge Redline fan for their oil for motors. That said even using their compatibility guide I had issues in a honda transmission using their product. Anecdotal maybe.. I still use their motor oil.

Every 60-100K or 6-10years is advisable. 75W-85 Red Line Synthetic for OEM recommended weight. I tried 75W-90 Amsoil and wasn't happy with the way it ran.

I'd stick with Toyota WS for our transmissions. I even use Toyota oil for oil changes but mainly because I get it for cheap.
