    I know. I wasn't sure if said oil works well in the engine, if their gear oil would work well in the diff.s. I hear otherwise

    It's an interesting study, but it would have more weight if it were not paid for by Amsoil.

    Toyota manual transmissions love Redline MT90 so that's all I've used in mine for many years, and I use it in the transfer case as well. I use Valvoline synthetic 75W90 in the front and rear diffs because I can get it on sale locally (just picked some up for $8/quart at Pep Boys last week).

    super tech is made by WPP or warren petroleum products who make also MAG1 and Coastal and other lubricants. Most Toyota dealerships and Parts dept. will use MAG1 gear oil instead of the Toyota branded stuff. for an every 30k OCI you really cant beat Super tech.
