My name is Don. I am new to the list. I own a 96 FZJ80. It states in the Owner's Manual that when replacing the diff oil you should use SAE90. Notthat easy to find. Tried several auto stores and have not been able to find it. I am being told that only auto dealers have it. In the past I got it from a friend of mine who is an auto mechanic.
Is there any other gear oil that I can use? Was thinking about taking 40
gear oil and 50 gear oil, mixing them together to get 90. Would that work?

Im starting to feel sorry for Alfred....we jumped on him like a pack of wolves....i do know someone who filled the motor up with water....and another who filled it up with oil literally!
I know someone that took over an hour to top up the oil level in his car.....by trying to pour it in thru the dip-stick hole. He's a nice boy, but not too bright!
you guys should try workin at a servo for a while
most comon excuse: i dont normally drive this car its my husband's/wife's how do u release the filler cap, does water go in here?? oh and i got a doosie yesterday from a mate who should know better: "brake fluid goes in your power steering doesnt it??

Any liquid in there should work, as they are both some sort of fuild (water will even work). Its just that the internal components want last long. And in teh brake system it will most likely boil sooner.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY....

Auto fluid/power steer fluid and or any oils will make the seals swell
and you will need a compete rebuild of everything.
If you are stuck - water is the only thing - it will boil quickly but at least it won't effect the seals badly - flush and refill with brake fluid asap !!!
