What diff fluid does Toyota use?

Toyota Differential Fluid
Toyota uses different types of differential fluid for its vehicles, depending on the specific model and the differential type. Here are the key points based on the search results:
– Front and Rear Differential Fluid:
– The Toyota dealer recommends using Mobil 1 75w-90 with a packet of LS fluid additive for the front and Toyota’s expensive 75W85 for the rear differential.
– For the rear differential of a Toyota Tacoma, it is recommended to use synthetic 75w-90 GL-5 gear oil that matches Toyota’s specifications.
– The Toyota Genuine Fluid 08885-02506 Differential Gear Oil LT is also mentioned as the recommended differential fluid.
– The differential fluid change interval is recommended to be every 30,000 to 50,000 miles for optimal performance and reliability.
– Other Recommendations:
– If the Toyota Genuine Differential Gear Oil is not available, a (Synthetic) Hypoid gear oil API GL-5 with viscosity grades SAE 90 at temperatures above 0F and SAE 80W or 80W-90 for colder regions can be used for the rear differential.
– Frequency of Change:
– The frequency of differential fluid change can vary based on driving conditions, with some dealers recommending a change every 2 years for vehicles not used for towing or off-roading.
In summary, Toyota uses various differential fluids, including Mobil 1 75w-90, Toyota Genuine Fluid 08885-02506, and synthetic 75w-90 GL-5 gear oil, depending on the specific vehicle and differential type.
If you have a specific Toyota model in mind, it’s always best to consult the owner’s manual or a Toyota service technician for the most accurate recommendation.

Is Toyota gear oil synthetic?

Toyota 75w-85 Synthetic Gear Oil.

Is Toyota 75W85 synthetic?

OE Toyota Lexus Differential Gear Oil 08885-02506 Fully Synthetic LT GL-5 75w-85.

What is the difference between 75W80 and 75W90?

75W90 has a higher kinematic viscosity than 75W80. At 75W90 the kinematic viscosity is 13.5 to 18.4 mm²/s. 75W90 offers better shear stability than 75W80 and can generally withstand higher loads in the transmission. Oils of different SAE classes can be mixed with each other.

What does 75w85 gear oil mean?

The value before the “W” (W = winter suitability) indicates the flowability of the oil at cold temperatures. Transmission oils with 75W remain flowable down to -40°C. The number “85” refers to the kinematic viscosity of the transmission oil at 100°C. This ranges from 11.0 – 13.4 mm²/s.

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.

Can I use 75w90 instead of 75W85 Toyota?

You’re fine. 75W-90 works well.

What gear oil does Toyota use?

75W140 Gear Oil, Quart.

What kind of differential fluid does a Toyota Tundra take?

Front Differential Fluid – Qty 2 Ravenol Fully Synthetic Gear Oil DGL 75W-85 1 Liter. High performance replacement equivalent to the original recommended Toyota Tundra front differential gear oil specs and part number 08885-02506. (Capacity 2.0 liters, 2.2 quarts)

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.

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).
