Changed out differential oil

[bobstoy16]

I have 60K miles on my 4 runner and decided it was time. Read all the old posts about brand and weight choices. I used Valvoline 80W90 based on price and availability. $3.99 on sale at Menards. Easy job. Rear oil was dark with minimal paste on magnet. Front was almost clear. What bothered me was it drained like 0W20 motor oil.

It looks thin because it is 75W-85 factory fill. Your oil is thicker grade and you didn't let it sit in the sun (it makes it easier to pump when gear oil is warm).
