Gear oil
Who would think it so hard to find 75w-90 GL4 Dino oil...!
Can I use the stuff that is gl4 and gl5 rated?

I found some at AutoZone, though it was hidden away and I had to get one of their "experts" to point it out. Also, dont forget the interwebs, I just did a quick search and found a plethora of 75w-90 for sale...

I highly recommend Torco SGO, if you can find it. It may cost $20 a bottle, but it's money well spent.

You can use a GL4/GL5 in the diffs and transfer case but only use a GL4 in the manual trans. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/mainte...-gear-oil.html

O'Reillys had 75w90 on the shelf last time I was in there.

I use 80-90 in my gears & all on my 92 3.slo. Also use 15-40 Royal Purple I believe in my engine. Runs smooth!

Please read this http://www.toyota-4runner.org/mainte...-gear-oil.html
GL4 is better on the syncros and it will shift better.

I thought it was pretty surprising when I went looking for it and couldn't find it either. Both Napa and Oreillys just had 80w-90. They had to order me 75w-90. If your not in a hurry, I'd just stock up on some online.

Honestly my 80w90 & my 15w40 all Royal Purple work wonders. Try it out

Same thing here. I use 80w 90 in both axles. With my locker in the rear it definitely keeps it a hell of a lot quieter, less CLICK CLICK CLICK around turns. The 80w part just means it'll be a little thicker than the 75w will be when it's cold, 90 is what it'll be once it's warmed up, which is around 200 degrees I believe.

I think my tranny and I are gonna have a little talk... I don't think she's been using the proper protection.
In fact I think I should go ahead and get new fluid for it all.
crappy noob question but how much do you guys go through when changing all the bottom end fluid minus engine oil? I always just use the big multi gallon container and pump it in there.

yeah, no shop stocks this stuff on the shelf here in Fresno..WTH??
Found a shop that will order it and do the work for me..$150 for tranny and xfer, $240 to add in diffs. Gonna go that route. Worth it to me to pay an extra $50 for them to do the work...call me lazy.
