Not understanding. If you spray inside the turbo should not that remove any soot building up there?

Components include
-Rear Diff ~3 Quarts
-Transfer Case ~1 Quart
-Front Diff ~1.75 Quarts
-Automatic Transmission ~4 Quarts
Fluid used
Castrol 80w-90 axle Limited Slip
Castrol 85w-140 Hypoy C Gear oil
Valvoline 80w-90 High Performance gear oil
Mobil 1 3309 ATF
I have found that the oil coming out the rear and front diff appears significantly thicker than the oil that came out of the transfer case. This might be due to the wear particles in the oil but it is also of a different color to that of the transfer case.
The front diff is also a pain in the arch to work on because of the limited space around the fill plug. To start you will have to remove the shield located directly below the diff which is held on by 4 bolts. You then require a 10mm allen key to remove both the drain and fill plug from the diff; which adds to the pain. (The use of a "snipe" is helpful but it needs to be just the right length).
The drain plugs on both the diffs are magnetic and will have metal wear particles on them that have to be cleaned.
For the Transmission I used Mobil 1 3309 ATF as it is Mobil's version of Toyota Type IV fluid. It was selected as it was more application specific than other third party fluids that list Type IV and was also cheaper than toyota branded fluid. I just performed a simple drain and fill on the trans fluid; this is the second time, the first was done at about 30000 Kms
