Maintenance Transfer case fluid?

[mgmyota]

Need to change my transfer case oil. The genuine Toyota stuff is wicked expensive. I've heard of people using ravenol 75w fluid. Are there any other options? what is everyone running on their rig?

I've used this for 70K miles on my 2017 Off Road and now using it for 10K on my 2018 Sport without any issues. Compatible with the Toyota brand and is a SAE75W.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QPCL7ZE/?tag=tacoma3g-20

Replacement for: TOYOTA 08885-81001, 08885-81081 is written on the label.

Nice! that's what I've seen a lot of folks go to. Most likely what I'll go with as well.

I've run it in both Tacos and never any issues......and alot cheaper that OEM.

Redline LV 75w is what I am going to use

I just changed mine using Redline MT LV 70-75w which specifically meets Toyota spec for $23 per quart on Amazon

Old thread, but another vote for Redline here. Made a noticeable improvement in 4WD engagement and seems to run smoother. Old fluid had only 16k on it.
