    I'm going to change my front/rear differential and transfer case fluid and am looking at Mobil 1 Synthetic
    $28 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75W-90 Gear Oil LS (GL-5) which now states on the label that it "includes limited slip additive". I have a 2010 Tacoma with 2.7 L 4 cyl and 5 speed manual without a limited slip differential. It is OK to use the Mobil 1 product with the "limited slip additive" in a vehicle that does not have the limited slip differential? Thx.

    Perfectly fine for your application. If you did have a limited slip, though, you wouldn't want to use that stuff.
