    I don't worry about gear oils too much. since yours is a manual trans, you could go shopping and pick up everything you need from auto-parts stores.

    the only factory fluid I run in my truck is coolant. since gear oils are supposed to be changed at 30k or so anyway I don't get too fancy. I run mobile one and lucas throughout my drivetrain. the only reason I have different brands in different components is that I can never find enough gear oil in stock anywhere in town of any one brand, aside from like a big jug of generic stuff

    Biggest difference in OEM vs. A/M bodypanels is... QUALITY.
    OE fits right the first time. A/M usually doesn't fit 100%, dent easier, spotwelds let go, corrosion from inside seams, delamination of primer in some cases, 0 warranty if defective, not tested to the same crash energy absorption,...:rant:

    You can switch the diffs, tranny and t-case to synthetic cheaper if you do it yourself than if the dealer does it with conventional oil, so why the hell not. I bought my double-cab 6 speed manual used with 46,000 miles on it and at 50,000 miles switched them all to Amsoil. Shifts gears really smooth and goes from 2H to 4H to 4Lo flawlessly. I just punched in my truck info on the Amsoil website and it told me what oils to use. Super easy!
