Use GL-4 type oils only. GL-5 will corrode the brass syncros in the gearbox
Red Line MT-90. Problem solved.

I really doubt you'll find soft metal in a Toyota gearbox. They always specced GL-5, but a dedicated GL-4 will probably provide smoother shifting.
GL-4 required is more of a Nissan thing.

thanks everyone so far...oops!..forgot, what about the diffs too. Any 80-90 synthetic ok?
They use brass alloy in the syncros in the AISIN 5 speeds. I've rebuilt about 400 of these transmission at dealers over 20 years. Don't use sulfur smelly GL5. Use Redline MT90

75w-90 would be best. You might as well use Red Line's gear oil as long as you're ordering MT-90.

Toyotas as well as Nissans,Mazda's,etc all use soft yellow metals. Use a GL4 ONLY.

Thanks everyone again...looks like GL-4 then. That was my main concern.

Ravenol makes one:

It even mentions some Toyota specifications, some of which may apply to your car.
