    No, your not the odd man out. My 2012 Owners Manual calls for 75W-85 GL-5 for differentials. And I use Redline Oil Products also. Majority of TW owners here use
    $30 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75W-90 gear oil in they're differentials with good results. I prefer using what Toyota recommends.

    I have a set of ECGS Dana 489's ECGS says to run Lucas non synthetic 85W-140 so thats what i run even though it sounds way to thick. I put non synthetic Lucas 80W-90 in my Toyotas they are not complaining. I would never use synthetic in a diff it does not climb as well and pinion bearings will not get as much lube slung up on them.

    I started using it for regular oil changes - seems to have the correct specs on the label - maybe I'll check it out for diff changes. How did it work 4 U ?

    So dawgn86, what name brand of gear oil and viscosity weight did you finally choose to use in your 2nd generation 2013? Glad it still looks good @ 1500 miles. But why are you looking at the fluid at only 1500 miles anyhow? Just curious...... but your Tacoma appreciates it.
