My first Land Cruiser :)

[1993FJZ80]

I was hoping someone could help me out with a few things. I just bought a 1993 fjz80 with 143000kms on the clock. I'm wanting to change all the fluids out and wondering what you guys are having best results with? Synthetic, conventional, additives and so on.

Congrat!! Welcome to the cruiser addiction. Synthetic throughout on mine including wheel bearing and knuckle grease.

 

[1993FJZ80]

Thanks!! Can I use the same grease for both?

Does anyone have a list or link of what oils Toyota calls for in the transmission, transfer case, and axles?

Thanks!! Can I use the same grease for both?

Hope that helps. =)

Oil Preference is a matter of preferance.
I use Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 75W-90 in the Diffs
Timkin Bearing Grease in Bearings
Valvoline Pallidium in Knuckles
Toyota Red for Coolant
Wal-Mart Full Synthetic Tranny Fluid (Maybe Havoline Brand)
Power Steering is ATF full Synthetic I believe.

Welcome to the 80!

Welcome. IMO the brand is not as important as changing fluids more often. I use napa gear oil in diffs, tcase but i change diffs every 5k miles or so and tcase once yr. at like 6kish miles
