    Hi I am a new member. I have had my 02 4WD TRD for 9 yrs. Currently 236,000 miles on it. I am hoping someone can help me. Recently I changed all the fluids, (trans, transfer case & front diff)replaced with synthetic. I'll being doing rear diff in the next couple days. I am confused as to what to use. Books say hypoid 90w, dealership doesn't even carry 90w. Do I use
    $28 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75w-90 or 80w-90. I live in So. Cal so definitely above 0. Also, what about synthetic? Some say no to synthetic in the rear diff. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
