Lol, I gave up.. the MTL-LV was a 70w/75w oil as a direct replacement for Toyota LF Transfer Case oil... I think I must've been looking at 80-series tech forum when I ordered it. Not specifically recommended for the 100-series. My manual asks for a GL4 or GL5 75w-90 as does the service...

I’ld like to resurrect this regarding toyota LF 75w and 100 series transfer cases. I’ve just put in a direct replacement for that spec put in my transfer case (redline MTL-LV; 2006 lx470) and am wondering if that was a mistake.

Anyone have anything to shed on this? I have to drive it this week for my commute and want to know if i should stay up late to change it out.

Thickness question not resolved but GL4 or GL5 is allowed in the TC per the following... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/service-specifications-fluids-land-cruiser-uzj-hdj-fzj-hzj-100-series.50285/ The next one has really bad formatting but also allows gl5 or gl4...

I just spent the last few hours buttoning everything up to come and double check my fluids... I put Redline 'MTL-LV' a GL-4 oil in the transfer case. Come on here and everyone says GL-5 is the ticket. How worried should I be? Should I dump it without even trying to drive it and go get a GL-5...

When packing the grease in the hub between the inner races should it be level with those races or somewhat higher?

This and a few other posts have been super helpful! I do have a couple of questions and wanted to confirm a few things before getting parts: I need to get the RED fipg for the trans pan (00295-01281)? Or is there a new part number for that? What about the rubber gasket Toyota 35168-60010...

ok, called in this morning and pieces were available and I did buy but dang was it a bit expensive for one slat and one end cap: $240 shipped. Process was easy over the phone and the guy gave me 10% off but still that was kinda spendy.

Just to add, one came installed on a 100 series I bought. First time I tried to use the t-slots the recommended 8mm bolt chewed through the aluminum inside the channel with very light torque. It was a pita to remove the bolts after that. I now need a two new slat including one of the combined...

Welp! Somehow I missed that.

I see a lot of feeler gauges but no ranges that we should be looking for. I just put one in from a variety pack that is basically a perfect fit: no gap whatsoever. But is that too tight? And conversely, how loose is too loose?

Dang that is sad to hear. Hope everything's gotten sorted.

Resurrecting this 9 years later: still no skid plate offerings for the 100 series? What happened?

How about now? Any update for that trail rig and the new bushings?
