Get which ever yous want, they both will work.
Think the manual says change every 30k ,do yourself a favor and alter your front/rear diff and transfercase all at in one case that way you know when you did each last.

All the researching I take done has led me to believe gl4 is the way to go. Most people on here advise the redline mt90 oil for the transmission transmissions.

I have washed all the hi-pro mods for a life fourth dimension, since I got this truck at a slap-up price, I will be happy with showroom new.

well, if yous have but gotten the truck, and you have the power, I believe its best to effort to change all the fluids as you can, and keep a record of it so you lot will know.
the advantage of using redline or whatsoever good constructed is that is more durable, it volition brand a difference shifting, esp. when its common cold. Amsoil is great, I take used it with others in the past, and you tin can get to their web site, put your trucks info in and make a crook sheet for all the lubrication's the truck takes.
I accept spent the day doing the clutch master cylinder, and the slave rebuild, and flushing them out, thanks over again anybody here with the write-up considering judging from what came out its the first time its been changed.

I utilise amsoil severe gear and volition modify every 60k.
I am coming up on 60k and I am going to try redline mt90 this fourth dimension. The amsoil made the shifting a scrap notchy.

Gl-5 gear oil eats brass synchros, so keep it out of your trans. Very hard to discover non-GL5 fluid locally. Yous have to buy redine mt90 or get to your Toyota dealer and strictly buy Manual trans fluid.
I got a case of v quarts of redline off Amazon, cost me like $sixty though. Gl-5 is very good for your differentials though, and it'southward safe to put in the t-case, equally there are no synchros.
I ran Redline Shockproof Lightweight in my MR2 trans (E153) and it was swell. I switched to Amsoil recently only because I sell it so I wanted to effort it out. It doesn't seem to be likewise much dissimilar, but Shockproof tends to coat everything and stick for a while then it may take a bit for whatever modify to be noticed. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Shockproof. A lot of MR2 guys run MT90 also.
So, if for some reason you lot can't find MT90, I'd endeavor Amsoil or mayhap Shockproof. I should change the diffs/trans fluid in my truck, too..

I recommend opening the Fill plug on each component BEFORE you remove the drain plugs. That way, you KNOW you'll be able to re-fill what you drain...

Y'all should also get the correct replacement crush washers for the job. They're NOT all the same.
+one for Amsoil. I'm very happy with their Severe Gear 75W-90.

You should employ GL-iv because information technology is safe for the synchros. Modern GL-5 is "supposed" to exist condom for synchros, yet it still has a higher concentration of the extreme pressure additives that are bad for synchros. Amsoil makes a GL-iv manual manual fluid. Redline MT90 is likewise a GL-4 oil. I don't know what the maintenance schedule is, but I practice it every 50,000 miles. Piece of cake to remember that fashion.Napa Motorcar stocks Amsoil GL-four manual transmission fluid where I live.
If anyone can't find it locally, let me know and I can probably get it to y'all at retail without whatever aircraft charges.

You can always fill through the shifters if you have a manual. Non sure nearly an automobile though.
Trans, forepart diff, and rear unequal?
