Use what the service book recommends.

My take on it, stick to known brands like valvoline and you can't go wrong

Hey Brett, just did all the fluids on my 100 series and if you go on the oil company website they have the listings of what you need to use.

Cheers Al.

I agree, use good oils, they do make a difference these days and even the viscosity is important for certain parts, gear boxes blah, Blah.

$800 for diffs, gearbox and Xfer case!!!
I would never take my vehicle back to that business again. What a rip off.
