@apollo

for the cheap low budget stuff, Total Rubia 7400 15W-40, bout $125 per gal

for a lil bit higher priced, Castrol CRB Turbo 15W-40, bout $190 per gal

for even higher priced, Amsoil , idk the $$

i personally used the Castrol till the prices raised and the switched to Total, bothe oils performed well and were changed at 5000kms straight.......


IMHO oil filers cant go much more then the 5K mark, so jus follow the golden rule,

so far the valvoline max life i am using in the 2006 WLT ranger ,working well - onto the 3rd oil change for the valvoline and the engine is running quieter and more efficient.
Soon the Ranger will hit the 200K mark - need to consult manual for what maintenance need to be done.

just today I was reviewing some of our past invoices from Diamond Motors; I knew they used Total, but didn't know it was 10W40. In any event, I'm planning on trying out the Amsoil 15W40 to see what the fuss is about :lol:

I also used the Mobil 1 Synthetic gear lubricant LS 75W90 in my gearbox & transfer case. For the rear diff. I used Valvoline 80W90 & the front diff. is using Castrol 90 gear oil.

From what i read the gear box and front diff. does not require LS oil.
How many quarts did the gear box take?

The dealership here suggested I use this oil also. I don't mind using the Toyota oil, but wouldn't it be a good idea to use something heavier like a 15w40 on an older engine? (2007 model with 88k on the clock).

From what I read in the owner's manual for my Frontier it said the front diff can use a multigrade or monograde gear oil. The rear diff must be LSD only oil & gearbox & transfer case I can use 75W90. My gearbox took 8.5 quarts.

88K on a diesel engine is low.
