The differential is the same as before. They used to spec 75W-90 GL-5. They changed it to 75W-85 to get just a slight edge on gas mileage but with a loss of longevity. So 75W-90 is perfectly acceptable, you'll just burn a little more gas, but it'll last a lot longer too.

Tip 1: If you do happen to over grease the slip yokes (wink, wink), just remove a zerk fitting and drive around for a bit. The excess grease will be forced out of the hole were the zerk fitting was, then just reinstall the zerk fitting and hit the area with brake clean. Tip 2: Gold Plug and Dimple make a high quality magnetic plug that replaces the transfer cases stock non-magnetic plug. Tip 3: You can upgrade your brake fluid to a DOT 5.1. This will help if your doing heavy towing as DOT 5.1 is glycol-base, compared to DOT 5 being silicon based, and is compatible with DOT 3, but has a much higher boiling point: 500 degrees dry and 356 degrees wet.

I confirmed vehicle was 100% level prior to performing the service. Did you notice the same thing? Should I be concerned I've overfilled the rear diff?

Toyota gear oil is EXPENSIVE. I will challenge you though, a quality 75W90 GL-5 gear oil (Mobil 1, Delo, Valvoline, etc.) will not damage your diff. In fact, many dealerships don't use Toyota gear oil for a drain and fill service on the diff or transfer case. As a note, some hardcore off roaders recommend that you use dino / conventional oil and just change more often. East Coast Gear supply, a diff manufacturer recommends dino oil.

I'm sure it's fine. I know that's what Nitro Gear uses as well. They used 75W90 GL5 synthetic on everything. I'm just going to match the owners manual since everything is stock and it costs almost the same. 75W90 is much easier to get locally.

Yeah I am totally okay with changing my transfer and diffs with 75w90 GL-5. toyota uses that. IF you change it, you're miles ahead. The fact youre reading this means you care.

Yeah, I've used 75/90 in mine when I did the diffs. I actually put it in the t-case too. That was about 70k miles ago, so I'm gearing up to do this again soon. I am going to use the correct Red line in the tcase this time though, when I originally did this I just bought the gear oil locally and did not realize the difference.

Can you please post a link for The Jack and the jack stands that are rated properly for the 4Runner. I don't have any extra weight on The bumpers yet. Thank you.

I recommend 6 ton jackstands that have a safety pin. The newer ones from Harbor Freight are great in my experience.

Good idea. I’ll try. Chris bought the maintenance package from the dealership which I believe just ended. Havoline sent me oil for his truck but we haven’t used it yet. If I can I definitely will. 👍

Jason, do you think I can use the longer nipple Fumoto F-133N valve? Is there enough clearance to put the drain access panel back on? Thanks

I wouldn’t risk it personally.

Use Amsoil gear oil for front and rear differential. No issues so far.
