    Default j160 gearbox oil

    just after some advice on gl4 oil for my is200's j160 gearbox

    got recommended redline mt-90 but a few people have said it glazes the syncros?
    what other oils would you guys recommend looking into?

    can get 4L of MT-90 for $120

    sorry if theres other threads like this already, im at work so don't have the time to search lol

    cheers

    I think you will find that the Redline Shockproof range are the ones that have glazed synchros in the past.
    The MT90 and MTL seem to be OK though.
    Past Toyotas - Snow White (TA23), Blue Stivo (ZZE123)
    Current Toyotas - Hamster (AW11)
