I run a toyota RAV4.2 uk model manual, 2ltr petrol.
here is the oil spec
for the g/box (actually it is a transaxle as there is no center diff) GL-5 SAE 80w90
rear diff (which is not an LSD) API GL-5 SAW90
A couple of years back, the dealer changed the oil but used their approved brand (castrol??)
I have used mobil synthetic gear oil previously in 2 & 4 wheel drive cars with good results. What bugs me is I cannot source synthetic API GL-5 SAW90 and most GL-5's are 75w90
any ideas or suggestions??
