Thanks been waiting for this video. Now I definitely do not feel confident in using the Toyota 75W. Car car nut also said you could use something else and now I definitely will.
In the 80s we had similar oil cans used to fill hydraulic and oil servicing carts used on Air Force aircraft. Mechanics would punch holes in the cans to fill the carts. Since we use an engie oil analysis program, there were seeing wear metals showing up in the results on a recurring basis. We found out that opening the cans by punching holes in them, were causing the problem. From that point on, we were not allowed to fill the oil carts; only the Aerospace Ground Equipment mechanics would do so, and our issue went away. I believe that's where your wear metals came from
Hello, I just changed the differential fluid in my Tacoma at 32,750 miles. I used Red Line 75w85 gl5 just like the manual/truck requires. Thinking on changing it every 30 to 35k miles. Thanks for the awesome video s.
I Thought have a manual Toyota truck it must be only GL4 not GL5. GL4 is hard to find, Amsoil brand pacifically makes API GL-4 Manual Mission and Gear lube its Red color bottle not blue API GL-5
I use Mobil 1 75w-90 synthetic ($15-$20/quart) and replace every 30k miles in transfer case and rear differential. My 2006 Toyota Matrix 4WD has 220,000 miles and runs perfect.That can looks 30 years old and is probably the worst container for filling diff. Also, Toyota Dealers use the cheapest bulk oils, etc, then massively overcharge you for OEM fluids on the bill.
@sharonc8632 75w-90 makes my transfer case stick in the winter her in Ohio. Redline is an LV oil and the Toyota stuff is an LF (Low Viscosity vs Low Friction). You can translate how you will. They may mean exactly the same thing. However Toyota fails to tell us in a straight forward manner to go to hell on this debate.
unfortunately the 3rd gen tacoma transfer case contains brass, so severe gear GL-5 is not an acceptable fluid to use. Amsoil MTF may be acceptable, but they do not recommend it for the application. I'm using Ravenol at least until my warranty period expires since I can back up any warranty claims with the fact that Ravenol advertises it is equivalent to Toyota 75W.
@@repairvehicle 2o11 single cab 4cyl with automatic transmission... located in severe cold winter climate temps go well below 0 Fahrenheit occasionally and need the transfer case to operate properly in the snow!
2011 is different and it runs on gear oil, just use synthetic gear oil because it will flow faster and will allow it to operate faster. www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2011/toyota/tacoma/2-7l-4-cyl-engine-code-2tr-fe-t/?gal=1&zo=5257753
75w is just to increase fuel efficiency. on the old jimny jb43 the transfer case fluid is 75w90. on the new jb74 jimny it's 75w. but in certain countries like indonesia the jb74 takes 75w90. so they fill 75w in countries that are colder and/or have fuel efficiency requirements. this means that the transfer case is 100% compatible w/ the thicker oil.
How long have you had the 75w90 in? I will be changing mine soon and would like to use Amsoil 75w90 instead due to price of Toyota oil...and this video shows it not the top quality
RAVENOL J1C1003 SAE 75W Gear Oil - MTF-3 Full Synthetic (1 Liter) meets the spec as the Toyota fluid. I purchased on Amazon for $49 per liter delivered a couple of years ago.
I believe in getting all the factory oil out of your Toyota as soon as possible. First oil change should be at 1K to get rid of the braking oil. Use Amsoil products because I believe they’re the best in the world. Transfer case and differentials the first time should be done at 10 K. Again, I prefer Amsoil, but I have used Valvoline 75W 90 for the differentials and transfer case. Change your oil every 5000 miles vehicle will last 300k no problem!!
..... or change it every 3.000 miles and get 500.000 miles! Toyota Oil filter regular NON synthetic Valvoline 5W30 in a 1995 Toyota Tercel 456.000 miles and l am still driving it every day so NO Amsoil is not the best oil. Usually German and Japanese oils are the best but pricey for a reson!

I have a manual transmission 2022 Corolla SE Apex. I drained the stock Toyota gear oil at about 9000 miles because I heard wonders about Red Line. I put Red Line MT-LV which is their newest addition to their gear oil and what my transmission calls for according to their site. It made a HUGE difference in my shifting. Like butter smooth. I would have done it after the break in period if I had the jack to lift up my car and take the undercarriage cover off. Granted it was done in May of this year and I live in PA. I would go with Red Line for their gear oil. I plan to change again at about 30,000 miles. I cannot wait until AMSOIL makes OW-16 in their signature series. I want to do a little more research and see about putting just a little bit of Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer in it - again just a little bit.
I would not use 0w-16 in a car with auto stop/start technology. 0w-20 vs 5w-30 what is better in terms of protecting against wear? Brand of oil matters? ruclips.net/video/2RMAMAlWV-Y/видео.html
If the auto start stop can be disabled, that what I would be doing.. assuming the gas saved is negligible and all that starting can’t be good for your car.
Thank you for saying this. It’s the best kept secret in fluid spec coverage. It covers the Toyota transfer case, borgwarner transfer cases, the new but was old Hyundai/kia 70w or 75w asmt trans fluid, ford dual clutch, bmw xdrive transfer case, haldex units, etc etc etc.
I’m glad to see this video done by you, someone I trust! I love Amsoil, and will be putting it in my engine and differentials…but…this transfer case oil is interesting and huge discussions online. They say it’s really important to use OEM in the transfer case. But Redline is the only one that has a suitable replacement… MT-LV 70W/75W GL-4 Edit: Further in your video you mention the Redline I was talking about, sorry.
I just changed my TC fluid and went with the Redline MT-LV but I don’t know if I screwed up because I have an 08 Tacoma and apparently the 75W is spec’d for 2014 and later.
Redline is one of the better alternative oils for a transfer case you do not use GL5 gear oils and transfer cases that is for rear differentials and for sliding type of pressure wear also does not work well with bronze or brass type bushings or bearings the better alternative is the amsoil GL4 oil used transaxles they are compatible with brass bushings and gears
ATF is a totally different chemistry from sulfurized gear oil. Borate esters vs. sulfurized hydrocarbon anti-wear additives. Then there is engine oil/hydraulic oil/power steering fluid/CVT fluid/Ford type F ATF which are all ZDDP addititized oils.

Why not use any engine oil synthetic (20-50W) with the limited slip additive and call it a day. The price of gear oil is just crazy. I bet that would work just fine. The viscosity would be a lot lower for better gas mileage.
80w-90 might be to thick of fluid. Toyota recommends using 75w. I would try 75w-90 as longs as it meets specs for manual transmission or use manual transmission fluids.
@repairvehicle I appreciate the info. The funny thing is the shop specializes in Toyota and Lexus. Maybe it's because I live in the no winter Tampa Bay area of Florida. I also wonder if I should replace the 80W90 to be safe.

You can use any 75W 90 differential gear oil because 75W 90 is synthetic so it's much better already because it flows better at lower temperatures and it's also thinner than 80w90 conventional gear oil. It's always best practice to use a fully synthetic oil grade rather than l a conventional mineral oil based grade. When TOYOTA uses 75W gear oil, it allows them to get better fuel mileage, having less drag in the differential and transfer case which gives them their EPA desired rating so they can sell a certain model of cars with a certain size engine in it to satisfy the greenhouse gas effect. 75w gear is perfectly fine if you're driving in 20° temperatures all the time And not towing anything or hauling heavy loads in the back. When compared to 75W 90 is great for lower temperatures of -20° Canadian, and even hotter temperatures like when towing a trailer occasionally uphill for short periods or having the back of the pick up truck field with a load of soil. With the synthetic 75w90 for 90% of pickup truck owners would Be perfectly fine. When you noticed the the specification numbers of the same grade oil being vastly different could be due to the anti-wear additive package and or the GL-4 or GL-5 reading, depending on the application in which the oil was meant for? There's typically two ratings on a bottle of gear oil. One is the API rating and the other is SAE. One thing is for sure it is very confusing when determining which type of gear oil to use because vehicle owners manual may say one thing, but allow for another?
I'm running a basic 80W-90 in my Toyota Corolla hatchback 6spd manual. It's been working beautifully for the last 18k miles. I don't plan on using 75W again. If anything, I think these transmissions are happier with the dino gearbox oils. You'd just drop the intervals from 30k to 25k. If you really want synthetic, 75W90 will serve you well.
Yet another great F’n video! My go to synthetic/tundra guy. Now I feel crappy for using ravenol, but I’m changing every 15k since it’s easy to do and fluids are a lot cheaper than a transfer case….hey what’s the deal with ams oil gear oil being out of stock? On a side note what do you think of MPT 100% synthetic oil?
Amsoil gear oil is in high demand, they must have sold out at that time, but it’s available now. I have not heard of MPT brand before, I have no comments about it
@@repairvehicle ok thanks I’ll Look to get some. I’ve used the mpt as well as amsoil, it’s a small company in NJ and I must say the increase in mpg’s and the smoothness of the engine when using is like noting else. Try it out. MPT industries for your google search.
You can use 75w90.. they literally tried to sell it to me at the local Toyota dealer because they only use Toyota gear oil for warranty with because Toyota won't cover anything else for the work.. but the dealer sells a cheaper 75w90 for half the price of Toyota oil.. and they actually suggested that over the Toyota brand because of price.
This is annoying to say the least. I’m getting ready to change my transfer and diff fluids and the 75w oil issue for the transfer is concerning. I found that none of the dealers even carry 75w oil, wonder what they are using.
Keep in mind that you didn't show, Toyota oil you bought is it GL4 or GL5 Lubricant? You must watch out for that especially for Toyota's manual transmissions. Did they use type of gears that require only GL 3 or 4? something to watch out for other wise you can destroy your trans or transfer case. Depending on the year it was made.
@@repairvehicle so instead of 75W 85, is the 75W 90 ok too? i honestly don’t think it’s going to be a problem but i don’t want to burn my diff out either
The toxicology report of Toyota 75W oil contains Olefin Sulfide, an antiwear additive used in extreme pressure conditions. Tractors and marine boats used this same oil. I would stick to the Toyota manufacturers recommendations.
To be fair you should have sent all the oils to the lab.... Who knows what the other ones would show. And also metal can may have introduced metals into fluid for the test. I do think it's silly that they use metal can with no screw top at least....
@@repairvehicle yes I did, I exchanged my original fluid out before winter with 75w/85 and developed a loud clunk on disengagement. So I have experience with a multi weight fluid.
No not lying, I have real life experience with the the multi weight fluid. I'm just letting others know that Toyotas seem to work best with the straight 75w fluid. That's my experience.
The absolute worst Toyota Fluid is that WS auto transmission fluid since 2006. That watery piss will be black and smelly by 30 thou miles or 50 thou kms. It will cost you a new transmission down the road. Get a synthetic or use the Valvoline Maxlife ATF. Don't take my word for it, look it up on the web.

When you say the Toyota transfer case oil is bad, and you show the results of the test and indicate those results are bad; we need to have the results of the amsoil gear oil after the same number of miles on the same vehicle in order to compare the two results, so that looking at numbers we see mean something.

When compared to 75W 90 is great for lower temperatures of -20° Canadian, and even hotter temperatures like when towing a trailer occasionally uphill for short periods or having the back of the pick up truck field with a load of soil. With the synthetic 75w90 for 90% of pickup truck owners would Be perfectly fine. When you noticed the the specification numbers of the same grade oil being vastly different could be due to the anti-wear additive package and or the GL-4 or GL-5 reading, depending on the application in which the oil was meant for? There's typically two ratings on a bottle of gear oil. One is the API rating and the other is SAE. One thing is for sure it is very confusing when determining which type of gear oil to use because vehicle owners manual may say one thing, but allow for another?
Amsoil needs to make a 75W
I'm running a basic 80W-90 in my Toyota Corolla hatchback 6spd manual. It's been working beautifully for the last 18k miles. I don't plan on using 75W again. If anything, I think these transmissions are happier with the dino gearbox oils. You'd just drop the intervals from 30k to 25k. If you really want synthetic, 75W90 will serve you well.
BMW transfer case has a 75 w fluid! $37 my wife has 2020 X5 fluid is made by shell! I would trust that more than redline maybe compare those specs!
That’s explains why bmw have problems with transfer case
Redline my-lv covers that too
Yep my wife too did the same I trust German engineers
In canada that transfer case oil is $180.
Yet another great F’n video! My go to synthetic/tundra guy. Now I feel crappy for using ravenol, but I’m changing every 15k since it’s easy to do and fluids are a lot cheaper than a transfer case….hey what’s the deal with ams oil gear oil being out of stock?
On a side note what do you think of MPT 100% synthetic oil?
Which Amsoil gear oil out of stock? I just checked their website and 75w-90 is not out of stock
@@repairvehicle it was about a month ago I stopped looking, but the 75W90
Amsoil gear oil is in high demand, they must have sold out at that time, but it’s available now. I have not heard of MPT brand before, I have no comments about it
@@repairvehicle ok thanks I’ll
Look to get some. I’ve used the mpt as well as amsoil, it’s a small company in NJ and I must say the increase in mpg’s and the smoothness of the engine when using is like noting else. Try it out. MPT industries for your google search.
I got increase in mpgs and smoothness with Amsoil products, works great for me and others. I might test MPT and see how well it works
Love you approach. great video.
So is it safe to use 75w-90 on my 3rd Gen Tacoma OR transfer case?
Answer in the video
Did you not watch. It's good.
You can use 75w90.. they literally tried to sell it to me at the local Toyota dealer because they only use Toyota gear oil for warranty with because Toyota won't cover anything else for the work.. but the dealer sells a cheaper 75w90 for half the price of Toyota oil.. and they actually suggested that over the Toyota brand because of price.
What about Liqui Molly mtf 5100?
I don’t know their specs, do they even have 75w?
@@repairvehicle yes it's called mtf 5100 and it is 75w and gl4
This is annoying to say the least. I’m getting ready to change my transfer and diff fluids and the 75w oil issue for the transfer is concerning. I found that none of the dealers even carry 75w oil, wonder what they are using.
75w-90
Probably what ever is cheap and available. Then they’ll charge you as if they used the expensive 75w. Makes good profit for stealership
The Dealers are using the cheapest sh*t they can get and charging thievery prices!
My local dealership said they use Mobil 1 75w 90 in diffs and transfer case. They don't have the toyota 75w.
@@americanmilitiaman88 Thanks, that's what I decided to use.
Need to know if the fluid is GL4 or GL5 to be sure
Keep in mind that you didn't show, Toyota oil you bought is it GL4 or GL5 Lubricant? You must watch out for that especially for Toyota's manual transmissions. Did they use type of gears that require only GL 3 or 4? something to watch out for other wise you can destroy your trans or transfer case. Depending on the year it was made.
What does it say in the video gl4 or gl5?
I use the amsoil 75/90, ngl...mostly because of the handy pouch.
can amsoil 75w90 work in a new tacoma for rear diff
What year?
@@repairvehicle 2023
it’s a 2wd 4 cyl basic truck and i don’t tow or haul lol
Yes they do, here it is www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2023/toyota/tacoma/2-7l-4-cyl-engine-code-2tr-fe-a/?zo=5257753
@@repairvehicle so instead of 75W 85, is the 75W 90 ok too? i honestly don’t think it’s going to be a problem but i don’t want to burn my diff out either
I don’t think think the amsoil 75w-90 will work would it?

@@repairvehicle I'LL STICK WITH TOYOTA GOLD for my GX460. Hand pump....... DIY is easy....
@@doctorwgca , if you have watched video without skipping you would have different option about Toyota gold and would not use in your Lexus
@@repairvehicle Too late.....☹
Walmart sells 80/90 weight gear oil.Much cheaper works fine.
How do you know works fine ? Did you verify via oil analysis?
Just remember that even the beers came in cans similar like the Toyota transfer oil you showed back in the 60 😂
You had use can opener to open?
Used can opener for it. 10 years ago it still looks like new on Lexus is250 .
What is 10 years later looks new?
The toxicology report of Toyota 75W oil contains Olefin Sulfide, an antiwear additive used in extreme pressure conditions. Tractors and marine boats used this same oil. I would stick to the Toyota manufacturers recommendations.
Other brands don’t have sulfide?
As a certified Boeing engineer, i use an angle grinder to open canned oil.
Is that’s why Boeing has ton of quality issues
P-38
I just bought mobil1 75w-90 $20 per qt.
The Amsoil is best
To be fair you should have sent all the oils to the lab.... Who knows what the other ones would show. And also metal can may have introduced metals into fluid for the test. I do think it's silly that they use metal can with no screw top at least....
There was no metal in the oil sample, it’s not like I was grinding metal to open the can
Redline now makes a 75w
I will be using that the next fluid change.
Did you watch video?
@@repairvehicle yes I did, I exchanged my original fluid out before winter with 75w/85 and developed a loud clunk on disengagement. So I have experience with a multi weight fluid.
@@earskinpresley5264 if you watched video why did you say redline makes 75w when I showed in the video redline 75w? You are lying here
No not lying, I have real life experience with the the multi weight fluid. I'm just letting others know that Toyotas seem to work best with the straight 75w fluid. That's my experience.
@@earskinpresley5264 you did not watch my video but said you did . What dishonest person you are, must be a troll too.
I use the latest and to hell wth the company and thats a fact. never been burnt.
Thats because its oil that comes from the ground.
105$ MSRP in Nov-2o23 for the OEM
Not bad way to support local businesses, lol
Ravenol for sure
Why?
The absolute worst Toyota Fluid is that WS auto transmission fluid since 2006. That watery piss will be black and smelly by 30 thou miles or 50 thou kms. It will cost you a new transmission down the road. Get a synthetic or use the Valvoline Maxlife ATF. Don't take my word for it, look it up on the web.
Oli itu dalam mobil, ibarat darah manusia 🤔
Jadi tidak bisa saling tukaran yaaaa
Yang benar itu harus dasarkan buku petunjuk kendaraan. Sudah dasarkan R & D pabrikan

AMSOIL is the Go-To
When you say the Toyota transfer case oil is bad, and you show the results of the test and indicate those results are bad; we need to have the results of the amsoil gear oil after the same number of miles on the same vehicle in order to compare the two results, so that looking at numbers we see mean something.
Did you watch video without skipping?
@@repairvehicle Perhaps I missed the *oil wear test results* for Amsoil transfer case oil? Were they in the video? (side by side comparison after the same number of miles on the same vehicle driven similarly)
@@troy3456789 where did I say you should be using Amsoil?
Where did I say it’s wear test? It’s a fresh fluid.
@@repairvehicle when you showed the paper test results were those not an oil wear results test?
Amsoil
Badly processed recycled base oil.
Can i use redline mt-lv on my automatic 3rd gen tacoma 4x4 offroad transfer case?
