Question for the Amsoil users

I'm ordering the Series 2000 Synthetic 75W-90 for my '97 Tacoma 5spd 4WD but I have a question. The manual says this will work for the tranny and transfer case, but the differential is calling for Hypoid oil gl5, Sae90. The tech at Amsoil said the Series 2000 is what I need for the differential as well. What do you guys think?

Thanks for your help.

I'm an independent dealer for amsoil. The Series 2000 75W-90 gear lube covers GL-2 thru GL-5. So yes that is correct.

A buddy is an AMSOIL dealer so I took my manual with me and we wound up ordering a case of Series 2000 Synthetic 75W-90 for diffs, trans. and transfer case. That should give me about 2 extra quarts. It was under $70 including shipping

I'll be switching my engine over eventually too, just can't afford it right now.

Nobody can, we're all spending our money on gas.

Dang, Atlanta's gas is cheap compare to ours. We pay as much as $2.39/gal for an 87 octane in San Francisco. The average price is about $2.25/gal. Don't come down here!
