Gear & Diff Oil

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

Looking at doing a full fluid change on my car this weekend before silverstone but struggling to find what gear and diff oil to use. Is it just 75w-90 in both or does it need to be a specific spec?

Thanks

Jake

I've ordered a litre of the Motul GEAR 300 LS 75W-90 Fully Synthetic Car Limited Slip Differential Oil (LSD), which is the one everyone seems to use online, and then topping up with Motul Gear 300 75W-90 Fully Synthetic Car Gearbox & Diff Oil (as above). They are the same grade but not sure what the difference is. 

Just been on the phone to the Toyota parts man to buy the correct gaskets for diff and transmission plugs (cost over £20) and he gave me the following part number 08885-81070.

It costs £29.90 + VAT per litre and you need 1.something litres so 2 tins required. It is however 75W-85 so now i'm wondering if i've made the right choice!
