I know the general idea of gear oil with different ratings for viscosity under certain temperatures... can anyone tell me if there’s any specific gear oil that would be best for running an 07 SR5 4WD in Phoenix, Arizona? I hear the standard for the T4R is 75W-85 but we get temps up to 120 over the summer, it’ll be at 111 by this weekend. Thanks for the recommendations!

AFAICT, and I'm not sure if the difference matters or not, Toyota specifies API GL–5 SAE 75W–85 (per TSB DL003-07) in the front and rear differentials and it matters if you have a limited slip diff or not in the rear, and API GL-5 SAE 75W-90 in the transfer case.

Prior to the TSB Toyota factory service manual specified API GL-5 API GL–5 SAE 90 front and rear diffs in climates above 0 deg F and SAE 80 or 80W-90 in colder.

Not trying to be disrespectful, but why do you say Toyota requires synthetic. I have an 04 and specs do not mention synthetic. I am aware of the TSB DL003-007 for synthetic 75W85 but didn’t think it was requirement and was only recommended b/c Dino and weight difficult to find. ??? I can actually find original spec Toyota brand oil at one dealership which is shocking after calling several. Some dealerships using synthetic for my VIN and others using conventional. Curious your thoughts.
