I know everyone has their superstitious when it comes to gear oil.
In my 1st gen tacoma I have always run redline 75W90 in the diffs, transfer case and redline MT-90 in the R150F five speed. Shifts were clean, but at extremely low temperatures (prolonged -20 degrees F and colder) the redline doesn't flow as well.
I am about to do diffs, transfer case, tranny in my 1990 LN106 Hilux. Same drivetrain as an 85 pickup, G52 and solid axles. Considering Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90, I've heard it does great in the cold. As for the transmission I'm not sure whether to stick with redline MT-90 or go with an Amsoil product.
Anyone with a happy G52 - watcha running?
