Thinking about using Ravenol products in my `18 4Runner TRD Off Road.
Ravenol WS in the trans.
Ravenol 75w in the transfer case
Ravenol 75w-85 in the front and rear diffs
maybe even get the Ravenol DXG 5w-30 for the engine?
kinda of expensive stuff, but cheaper than the crazy Toyota 75w in the can.
I will probably hold off to black Friday's online discount pricing.
I figure these fluids should be a quality synthetic and are specific to the spec that Toyota calls for without using a multi-use fluid.
Anyone have any experience with Ravenol and Toyota's. Do Toyota's like these fluids? or am I over thinking it and just get some Valvoline 75w-90 in the squeeze pack for the diffs and transfer case and something that can go in the trans. that I can get at Walmart. Never had a Toyota before and not sure how fussy the transmission will be with non-OEM fluids.
OR
Would I be better running:
HPL 75-90 gear life in the diffs.
HPL 75w in the transfer case (made to order)
HPL 5w-30 Premium Plus PCMO in the engine
not sure what in the trans. I am kinda not going down the path of a multi use fluid
