Ok, so I did read the manual
Mine has Limited Slip rear differential 1998 LX470 US models
Front diff it ask for
1.8 quart / 1.4 Imperial quart
Hypoid gear oil 80w90 API GL5
Rear diff
3.5 qt / 2.9 imperial quart
Hypoid gear oil 80w90 API GL5 for Limited Slip
Transfer case
1.4 qt / 1.1 imp quart
multi purpose 75w90 GL4 or GL5
so hypothetically I need to get three different gear oil correct?
sometimes it is hard because one store only got the kind that is for Limited slip
I am tempted to just get one type oil and use it on all three (like mobil1 75W90LS)
it gets confusing because some sites says "Limited slip oil" are OK in Open diff
and is Hypoid gear oil works in transfer case (where it does not specify for hypoid but both are API GL5)

can you use a limited slip gear oil in a non limit
can you use a limited slip gear oil in a non limited differential , I own a 2003 pathfinder LE I want to change the gear oil in the both fromnt and rear differential , not knowing what I have I hear you can use limited slip gear oil in a non limited regular rear end but not the opposite ,is this...
