Nice! I'm going to do this soon. Im sure Lexus will charge ten dollars a piece for the new gaskets. What's everyone's preferred differential fluid?

These are the washers i used when doing my fluid change. Good for Front + rear diff + Transfer Case.

I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75-90 on all.

Thanks... A quick link to the parts list including gasket packs, 10MM hex an oil. I've used a number of of gear oils and have been pleased with: Toyota, Amsoil and redline. They all seem to work well. I strongly feel that if you keep to your maintenance schedule, refreshing the gear oil is more important than the oil you choose as long as it meets OEM requirements.
