    I know I'm long away from needing to change my Driveline fluids but I was curious as to what what everyone else was doing. The front and rear differential call for 75w 85 would a good quality synthetic 75w90 be just as good?

    The transfer case calls for 75w. I haven't been able to find anything else but the actual Toyota stuff which is extremely pricey. Would
    $29 75w 90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75w 90 be acceptable?

    Transmission I know you have to use the world standard but it's not really any more pricey than a good full synthetic fluid anyway. And from what I've been told the automatics are very finicky about what you use in them.

    Just curious as to what everyone else was doing on their third gen?

    Yep. I used 75w90.

    Nope on the t case. Ravenol is the way to go. Less than $20 and meets the spec.

    Here's a great post about the work:
