    Well about to fork over the money to finish my prerunner to 4x4 conversion, and figured while I was at it I can go ahead and change all the fluids, Transfer Case, Both Diffs, and transmission since I've got 179,005 miles and its probably due. My questions is what oil does everyone prefer ? RP, Redline, or Amsoil obviously synthetic in all and 75w90 for the diffs and transfer case.

    http://www.amsoil.com/mygarage/vehiclelookup.aspx?url2=2000+TOYOTA+TACOMA+8
    Also does this chart match fluid levels :confused: im sure its pretty close but just wanna see what everyone elses levels were.

    I've read all the posts about how to do it so please dont post links to those threads.

    Just looking for opinions, might even to a write on the 4x4 swap and fluid change

    I like Redline, however all three are Type V synthetic, meaning you can't go wrong with any of them.

    Odd that chart lists GL-4 AND GL-5 for your tranny, because the two are NOT interchangeable. :eek:
