The GL-5 gear oils *could* harm the synchros in the manual transmission of the Tacoma. Some additive in the newer formulation I suppose. Mine only had 90,000 miles when I changed it and did not want to take a chance on wrecking the tranny. Seems like the best price I found was from Summit Racing.


same thing goes for the AX15 Tranny in a jeep yj. brass syncros corrode when exposed to sulfer. Redline also makes a fluid for manual trannies called MTL (manual transmission lube) that is used where 30 weight motor oil is called for tranny lube.

I change my tranny and differentials at 50 k also. 196k on my jeep and it runs and shifts like butter.
