Hello all,
I am in the early stages of considering purchase of a 2011 Toyota Tacoma V6 4WD. As part of the research into this possible purchase, I downloaded a copy of the owner's manual and read through it. I was surprised to see that Toyota specifies 75W-85 for the Differential. I thought this was interesting. I know Red Line makes a 75W-85, but I am not aware of any other offerings in this weight range. I believe Toyota is still recommending 75W-90 for the transfer case and front differential. Will 75W-85 become an increasingly common viscosity range? Do other vehicles out there specify this range?
