Replacing gear oil in manual transmission on 1991 Toyota Pickup, using full synthetic 75W-90 Gear Oil

My 1996 T100 4 cylinder 5 speed rwd took 3 quarts of Redline MT90 GL4 synthetic gear oil, and it's shifting much smoother. I highly recommend against using GL5 fluid in these transmissions

I have the same 1991 Toyota Pickup and the correct oil to use is GL-4 75w-90.

Excellent video, I did mine a few months back however the transmission I owned is from a RN80 so it had soft metals in it, hence I purchased online GL4 fluid to help to preserve the transmission for a few more years. Toyota Manual calls GL4 or GL5 however its known that for soft metals within manual transmissions to use GL4 instead of GL5 due to the GL5 additive being very strong for those soft metals so GL4 is the way to go but is harder to find. Thank you for your video

I have found out that due to the parts in the manual transmission G4 is really a better choice due to ease of shifting gears. It has something to do with the syncros that involve shifting gears smoothly in the transmission. I have a 1993 4X4 DLX Pickup and I will be changing my transmission oil from G5 to G4

I don't have a manual, but my understanding from a Toyota Master tech is that GL5 will eat up your soft metal gears and is not the recommend gear oil due to the aggressive additive package and should only be used on differential and Transfer case. Only GL3 or GL4 for the manual transmissions, if that's what it calls for.

It is yellow metals that are damaged from traditional GL5 oils. GL5 is a performance level, not a formula. Some GL5 oils are safe for yellow metals, some gearboxes don’t care if the EP package is there.
@isaacjrv Жыл бұрын
You will find in the owners manual gl4/gl5 however this was a believe back then that was no issues later manuals were updated after discovering gl5 was damaging the synchro's. Gl4 for the win, but is getting more difficult to find cheap. Make sure that says gl4 and not both. Red line mt works but is a bit more expensive.

anyone getting ready to do this ... please don't ever use GL5 gear oil in any synchromesh manual transmission - it has double the EP additives as GL4 and it will eat at the brass and other yellow metals that the synchros are made from if you do this by accident, it will withstand a lot of damage before you notice anything is wrong, but the clues are milky yellow or golden junk in the oil when you change it, and if you open the transmission, you'll find that the synchros will have turned from shiny brass to black from it we love these trucks, don't let that happen ... only use GL4 fluid in the manual transmissions ... if the bottle says it's both GL4 and GL5 compatible it's just wrong - they are different fluids personally I use redline MT90 GL4 in 75w90 weight for my 08 tacoma 6-speed ... the price gets better if you buy a 2 or 4 pack of the quarts hope this helps - good luck out there

Can you flush out the remaining gunk or is that likely to stir up trouble? thinking diesel or similar. Just asking as I had an 1960 car I was bringing back to life and the trans oil was ghastly like that and of unknown age. After the change I did another 2 cycles of cheap gear oil about 3 months apart (low use car) and the put my preferred stuff in. As you would expect it improved each time, but gear oil aint cheap. The box reacted well to the love :-)
@LAactor3 жыл бұрын
There's a guy in the UK who redid a daihatsu with the stuff. I can't see why not. As long as you don't let the diesel sit too long. There isn't much gunk left by that time and if you felt there would be some stuck in there, the slow dissolving way is the best like how you're doing it and open it sooner than the change interval and see. If it's cloudy and no longer yellow, change and you will see it not getting dirty as fast. That's the best way. No shock to the components or risk of a chunk coming off and grinding off a component inside. Unless there is major problems that you know will be fixed and need fixing or else and you are willing to take the risk, why not. Be a learning experience. Report back if you do. Ever think of MMO? That's the most aggressive I'd go. Concerned about any seals on something 60 years old.

My issue is finding the correct oil not even the dealer is using what is stated in the manual. For front and rear differential it is supposed to be 75w-85 and for the transfer case is supposed to be just 75w. The Toyota dealerships in my area are using 75w-90 for front and rear differential and transfer case. Also independent Toyota shops. I can't find the correct fluid anywhere but I am able to find the diff fluid I need from Redline and the 75w directly from Toyota on-line. I just think it's very strange that the dealerships are not using the actual recommended fluid, what do you think??
