    So I'm wanting to change the gear oil on the front diff, rear end, and transmission (5 speed 4x4)
    How much gear oil I will need for all three, and do you have to run different weight gear oil in them?
    Truck is an 06 single cab 4x4 manual.

    Thanks.

    I seem to remember the transmission needing GL-4 where GL-5 is fine in diffs. Gonna go grab my manual to double check that.

    Edit: Just confirmed in my manual GL-4 in the trans, GL-5 in the Diffs. Hit the transfer case while you are at it. 75-90 on all 3. The manual actually calls for 75-85 in the diffs but that is a bunch of horse shit to get you to buy the Toyota fluid.

    I assume you mean the transfer case when you say transmission? If that is correct, I purchase 6 quarts to do all 3 (front diff, transfer case, and rear diff). I use Mobil1
    $30 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75W-90, but that is up to you. Do make sure your rear diff requires LSD additive, or not. I can't remember if the 2006's need them.

    It's a manual transmission so I'm trying to figure what gear oil to put in it. I've got the
    $30 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75W-90 for the diffs and transfer case.
