Haven't logged in here in a while, I do like the locker, but I don't like the 4.88 Nitro gears that developed pits in the Pinion after 10K miles. Seems like an issue with the hardening of the metal.

Red Line Synthetic Oil. MT-LV 70W/75W GL-4 Gear Oil
Noticed no change in shifting afterward so seems to be fine to use.
It lists the Toyota spec on the website. This is likely as close are you can get if going aftermarket.
Not a huge difference in Power between the 4.7 V8 and the Dual VVTI 4.0 V6, and the Iron block V8 is much heavier.
