    Mobil and Idemitsu are makers of Toyota fluids.

    I used to get mobil synthetic gear oil by the drum at work. It worked out to about $5 a quart. If I had a spare $75 for a quart, it would be scotch whisky. lol

    Stick to Toyota genuine pink long life coolant, and transfer case gear oil.

    The dealer doesn’t even use the oem transfer case fluid ..maybe the coolant but it shows it makes no difference in fluid just intervals when changing… using oem specific fluids is just a waste of money … just stick with what is equivalent to it.. it literally says it in the Toyota manual ok to use .
