Knock off the personal jabs and stick to the topic, please.
As expected no answer to my fairly easy question.
Obviously that pulled by the hair opinion is just a tale. Thanks.

Will HPL sell me 2 qts. or do I need to buy a 6 pack?HPL makes a 75W that is perfect for that transfer case.
That’s what I’ve got on the shelf for the next change in my Tundra. It is also in my Volvo manual transmission.
It’s not on their site. You have to call them. Don’t forget the BITOG15 discount code.
As far as the engine or transmission oil, any of them will do fine
Of course they will. But you need to pick up the phone and call them. They will put together whatever you like. Like I said in the post you quoted - call them.Will HPL sell me 2 qts. or do I need to buy a 6 pack?
I didn’t realize they had the same transfer case as a 1997 model. Very interesting.Use whatever you want. I have a TRD ORP which is a bit newer. It also has a VF2A transfer case. The same transfer case that was in my '97 4Runner. That T-case was speced for 75w90 for years. It hasn't changed internally. The 75w spec, and the 75w85 spec for the diffs is all about a very slight increase in fuel economy. Me? I like Redline gear oil, and have Redline 75w90 for the diffs and T-case when I get around to changing it.
I thought that the transfer case supplier changed from earlier models. The T-case on my Tundra is different than pre-2000 models.I didn’t realize they had the same transfer case as a 1997 model. Very interesting.

So, the cases are of different design, and manufacture, but specify the same oil?Borg Warner patented the Morse type hy-vo chain. The Aisin Seiki VF2A in my TRD ORP is the same Aisin Seiki VF2A that was in my '97 Part-time SR5. They both use a Borg Warner patented Morse type hy-vo chain.
The spec for the Aisin Seiki VF2A in my '97, was for 75w90 gear oil. Since the design of the T-case hasn't changed at all, I could use 75w90 in my TRD ORP.
In this specific application, the Toyota LF 75w gear oil is just to eek out a small reduction in drag due to the lighter viscosity over the old 75w90 spec.
The SR5 uses a Part-Time Aisin Seiki T-case with electric shifting.
The 4Runner Limited has a Full-Time Aisin Seiki T-case.
The Tundra T-case is not the same as the T-cases in the 4Runner.
Well, we know Toyota is slow to make changes especially if something works. Tried and true, if it ain't broke...I didn’t realize they had the same transfer case as a 1997 model. Very interesting.
Ironically, Toyota just said the 5th gen will continue into 2024. Lol.Well, we know Toyota is slow to make changes especially if something works. Tried and true, if it ain't broke...
It is actually green.I am wondering about HPL ATF Green CC in the transmission as well, as far as how it effects shift quality.
My money is on it will shift crisp, quick and firm. How I like it. But what bother me the most from my understanding is that the fluid is actually green.
