Sae 90 gear oil?
For the rear differential on on 95 4runner 4x4, the FSM says:
Oil type: API GL–5 hypoid gear oil Viscosity: Above – 18* C (0° F) SAE 90 Below – 18° C (0° F) SAE 80W or 80W – 90 |
Any that are GL-5 and have '90' on the end will do. Older lubes were suited for more narrow temp ranges; thus 90 weight. While more modern lubes are made such that they can exhibit the good characteristics
of a thinner oil while at low temperatures and still have the body that is needed at high temps. Don't worry. |
It looks like "GL-5" is MARINE grade oil. I just put some Wally-Mart super-tech 80w-90 in. Gee whiz, good thing I am re-doing the bearings and it's not going to be in there for long.
