    I think 75w90 is fine in hotter areas, but if you live where the temps drop below freezing, I'd use one of the 75w oils.

    I also found that on-line under a few different brands. I went with Redline because I know they make top quality oil, 2nd only to Amsoil(but no proof of that).

    I think the redline claims it meets Toyota specs for the Trans, and not the transfer. I'll run it until Amsoil makes a LV 75w.

    They "list" it as a replacement.

    Every oil in my taco is red line except the motor & I haven't done my auto trans yet but it's next

    Never had an issue with any of it or really noticed the T case shifting any differently than before
