differential fluid

[orbit]

Happy Holidays to All. I am planning on changing my differential (front and rear) and transfer case fluids to AMS Oil Severe gear. I read the owners manual and it says Toyota recommends 75W90 for the front diff. and the transfer case, but recommends SAE 90 for the rear diff. Can I just use severe gear 75w90 in all 3? Has anyone done this? What would be the benefits and/ or draw backs?

ams oil diff. fluid

FYI,

I spoke with AMS Oil today, their severe gear oil already has the limited slip diff. additive in it.

If you live in a colder climate then it helps to store the gear oil on top of the hot water heater (over night). The warmth lowers the viscosity which aids pouring/filling.

They make a pump for $12 which will make this job easier.
