SAE 75W-90 in rear diff?
« on: Jan 27, 2009, 06:41:09 PM »
Hi,
Can I safely use SAE 75W-90 in the rear diff of a 1999 4Runner 4x4 that is used on and off road or must I use SAE 90 as stated in the manual?
Thanks.

Yes.  Can I use GL-5 75-90 in my transfer case as well?

Transfer and Transmission take GL-4 or GL-5.
