Does gear oil brand matter?

I have access to these two gear oils. The green one is way cheaper. Is it good to use or worth the extra cash on the chevron stuff? Thanks.

 

I'd use the green jug and not worry with it, as long as it meets all the specs

 

Cue the Amsoil fan boys…

 

Or the Purple Royal dudes.

 

yeah and t case. All 3.

 

I don't care what brand I use, but I make sure it isn't dirt cheap. If it meets spec, it's fine, better quality stuff usually just has better additives/conditioners.

Don't think too hard. If you use oil up to spec you're doing the right thing either way.

 

Googled Eurol. It’s a major Netherlands independent. Looks good to me.

 

yeah that’s what the guy said I got it from.
Just wanted to double check with you guys because y’all have tacomas and he doesn’t.

 

Transfer case requires a different oil. It's "Toyota 75W LF". The closest stuff that I could find in town that wasn't crazy pricey Toyota brand was Royal Purple Synchromax. See https://www.royalpurple.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Royal_Purple_Transmission_Reference.pdf at the bottom for LF equivalency. There's some others, like Redline and Ravenol that will meet specifications too.

Nothing else is similar around here lol.

 

For me....as long as the needed specifications are met, I go with what's available from my local stores. Brand is secondary, unless you want bragging rights.....lol.

 

I have access to the Toyota stuff but way too expensive. The stuff you posted doesn’t exist here in Lebanon. Wish I had more options.

 

Apparently the Ravenol is easy to get via Europe if that's accessible in way of shipping for you?

 

hmmm. I’ll look into that. Thanks.

 

I believe the Chevron Delo is designed for agriculture/construction/farm.

 

really? What makes you say that?

makes sense since a lot of it is being sold in bulk online.

Ok this makes me feel better about getting the green stuff.

 

I just looked at the Eurol specs...
Eurol and Chevron Delo are similar products, so...

as long as the fluid matched what Toyota ask you can use even Walmart brand.
