question about Toyota lubes

[easym]

What is the difference between toyota 75 w lf and toyota 75w lv? Can i use anyone of them in toyota transfer case specifically 4runner?

Toyota 75w lv is way cheaper tan toyota 75w lf. 75 w lv specificed for manual transmission gear oil.

I could be wrong here, but if it's a LV 75w, it's most likely just a full synthetic version of a conventional 75w gear oil.

Unsure. I used Ravenol MTF-3 ?

Ahh, the age old Toyota Transfer case lube question. I have no idea the differences these days, could it be Limited Slip additive?
I saved a bookmark years ago on Lexus fluids, might be a place to look.

I use Delvac 75w-90 in my 4Runner transfer case and difs. 30k interval for the rear, 45k for transfer and front dif. So many Toyotas with 400k+ miles on neglected drive lines or, at best, generic bulk dealership lube. No way am I paying $50-$60qt for gear lube. Another option if you’re concerned about bronze bushings or brass synchros is the Redline GL4 stuff.

Some people are using Liqui Moly Top Tec MTF 5100 SAE 75W in the toyota transfer case with good results. Amazon sells it for around $13.

I have used Ravenol 75w for over 10 years and 150,000 miles on my wifes 4Runner and two of my Tundras works perfect.
