Gear oil

Topic starter

I have a 99 tacoma 4wd 2.7 manual. The service manual says front differential needs 75w90 hypoid gear oil and the rear needs 90 hypoid. These are hard to find and I don’t want to use the wrong fluids and mess anything up. Are there any other fluids i can use for the front and rear diff? Thank you.

Use what your service manual says to use. I found Royal Purple Max Synthetic gear oil on Advance Auto's website. They have it in stock at my local store. It's $20 per quart. That's around what the 80W-90 for my Ranger costs.
