Title says it all. I wrecked my open diff (had a slow leak and ran it too low...I know, stupid on my part), but fortunately I found a LSD one for a good price and had it shipped. The only problem is I can't find straight 90 weight oil anywhere. I've tried two NAPAs, two Advanced Auto Parts, Auto Zone, a Toyota Dealer, a Ford Dealer, the local Farm & Fleet, a transmission shop and even an Exxon Mobil distributor. Is there another oil I can use? Suggestions are appreciated.
Need help finding SAE 90W gear oil for LSD
- Thread starter hey...it runs
- Start date
redline 75w90
if they dont have that get whatever 75w-90 until you get some of the redline ordered and shipped
also pick up and add a few drops of this if you start hearing some diff noise

Brandonw is right. I'm just trying to make sure I don't mess up the LSD with the wrong stuff. I want to just use the Toyota recommended oil but as I said it's basically not sold.
You don't want NS. Fwiw even though they're on the opposite coast I get my Redline stuff from FCP Groton. Cheap, no taxes, free shipping...
