3rd Gen Differential and Manual Transmission (6MT) Fluid Change

is it good for 2019 Tacoma 4X4 OFFROAD Automatic Transmission???

 

No

 

I need to change the front & rear diffs oil plus transfer case fluid for my 2019 OR Tacoma Automatic Transmission, any suggestion and recommendation for the respective oils?

 

I realize I'm a random dude on the internet, but I've been very impressed with AmsOil / Redline / Pensoil.

I having easy access to cheap AmsOil, use that and...as crazy as it sounds having changed out my T-Case and Trans oil recently noticed an actual 2MPGs better on a trip I do regularly and have for years (Boise Idaho to Jerome Idaho).
Maybe I got lucky, but I'll be doing it again and will have to keep tracking my overall mileage next go around.

And for reference, I normally got 19-20 MPGs doing this 2 hour trip, but am now appearing to get a solid 22.1MPGs (verified at the pump not just the computer).

Anyway, not to get off on the MPG rabbit trail.
I mostly was stoked about that MPG bump and fingers crossed it wasn't a 1 time thing lol.

Also worth checking out Project Farm, as it's interesting to see how different oils fair in some of the wear tests.

 

Redline makes excellent oils. I used them in my first gen, second gen, and 2022 third gen.

There was a story from earlier this year where a lot attendant or tech was trying to pull a MT vehicle into the garage and managed to kill another tech, worst part was the owner of the vehicle was being sued.

 

This?

 

Yep that was the one, that blows my mind that the Dealership would not be responsible and somehow the vehicle owner is.

 

That’s mental

Any trick to reading those articles without a subscription?

 

Amsoil for diffs, OEM for t case.

That is wild... I guess it depends on the state too cuz in some states the insurance stays with the car and other states. The driver insurance follows the driver. I know at my shop one of the veterans used to race and he's always pulling s*** into the garage super fast. I came after him and the supervisor wants about it and they both told me because I'm the new guy I should be quiet. I told them I spent 10 years doing this stuff for the government so don't new guy me with that crap. We'll see if he ever hits something though

 

I remember reading it elsewhere that didnt require a subscription.

At least the owner didn’t end up paying and the dealership settled. Crazy law in Michigan that allowed them to sue the owner.

 

At least that had the correct ending.

 

I’ve been married twice, I definitely know I’m the problem

 

Ordered amsoil for the diffs and the redline pairing for the trans and tcase. I’m at 25k, interested to see what they look like.

 

I did Amsoil SG for the diffs, Redline for the MT, and Ravenol for the TC at 25K. I haven't really noticed too much difference in MPG but I know the lower effective viscosity in the winter is helping some.

 

You're both early, but it definitely won't hurt

I did notice with amsoil in the diffs the characteristic "diff whine" became almost non-existent

 

Haha!

I'm a problem also. She somehow puts up with me.

 

I plan on ordering HPL Differential Life for both the diffs and the trans fluid.
