Additionally, there are other synthetic gear oils available in the market that are suitable for Toyota differentials, such as the 75W-90 Full Synthetic API GL-5 Gear Oil by Red Line. Genuine Toyota also provides fully synthetic gear oils for differentials, such as the 75W-140 Synthetic Gear Oil. It is worth noting that there are different viscosity options available for Toyota differential gear oil, so it is important to choose the one that is recommended for your specific vehicle model.

What kind of oil does a Toyota Tacoma diff take?
75w-85
BLAU Toyota Tacoma Transfer Case Differential Fluid Change Kit includes the correct amount of fully synthetic 75w Toyota transfer case fluid part number 08885-81080 and 75w-85 differential gear oil 08885-02506.
Can I use 75w90 instead of 75w85 Toyota?
You’re fine. 75W-90 works well.
Why not use synthetic oil for differential?
A gear oil that will hold its separation from water will protect the differential. It is in our experience that if you add water to a diff with Synthetic there is no clear delineation between the two. On a dino oil there is excellent water separation properties.
How do I know if my gear oil is synthetic?
Unfortunately, there is no reliable way of differentiating between mineral and synthetic in the field. However, because synthetic base oils are white (meaning transparent) as compared to mineral oils, which have a darker natural color (due to aromatics, sulfur and other impurities), this may be a distinguishing factor.
What kind of oil does a Toyota differential take?
Case which you can use 75 w 90 you can use 75 w80 85 depends on your temperature. Basically use the same fluid in the front differential rear differential on the transfer.
What does LT stand for on Toyota gear oil?
Regarding the designation “LT”: The Toyota Gear Oil LT 75W-85 1 L is a fully synthetic, standard OEM fill fluid used in non-limited slip applications. The letters LT are an OEM identification of the manufacturer Toyota.
What happens if you use 75W140 instead of 75W90?
No problem at all! I am a mechanical/petroleum engineer and can tell you that you are probably running ~75W-115 because the only difference between 75W-90 and 75W-140 is the amount of viscosity modifiers (polymers that stretch out and make the oil more viscous at high temps).
Is Toyota gear oil synthetic?
OE Toyota Lexus Differential Gear Oil 08885-02506 Fully Synthetic LT GL-5 75w-85.
When should I replace my Toyota differential fluid?
Over time, your differential fluid will break down and deteriorate from moisture, road salts, and dirt mixing in. For top performance and reliability, we recommend exchanging the differential fluid every 30,000 miles.
Is there a big difference between 75W90 and 80w90?
SAE 75W-90 maintains a more consistent thickness, or viscosity, across a wide temperature range. It’s thicker when exposed to high heat and thinner under colder, wintry conditions than 80W-90.
