All fluids due to change on 90 3.0 3VZE with 200k miles. Thinking on Synthetics and curious to recomendations on brand or weight. Have 4WD/MT. I know it will be expensive, but would like to go synthetic on both diffs, M/T, Transfer, which is about 10 quarts. Best I can decipher all areas require 75w-90 except rear diff which recommends 80w - 90W or straight 80W. Not sure why such a small difference. No off roading with this vehicle, street use only. I think the only widely available synthetic here is Mobile 1, small amount Amsoil and some Redline. Any recommendations and advice, warnings, help appreciated. No known problems with vehicle as is.

But, I have no idea what a 3VZE is..

From Google, I guess Toyota 4-Runner.
 
Mobil-1 75w90 in the front/rearends and xcase.

For the manual tranny, use a dual rated fluid or manual tranny gear oil that should shift better then the Mobil1! I'm thinking redline/amsoil/royalpurple/specialtyformulation....
 
The tranny is what I most worried about as to what to use. Give me a hint on a dual rated fluid. I guess I've never read or seen it or had it referred to in that way. New to the synthetic world.
