in the Supra manual it says

 

Differential Oil 1.35 liters (1.43 US qts, 1.19 lmp. qts)

API GL–5

Above–18° C (0° F)

SAE 90

Below–18° C (0° F)

SAE 80W–90 or 80W

 

So its okay to use Royal Purple max gear 75w90 for Diff and royal purple synchromax for the V160gear box?

 

please confirm those for me , so I can go ahead and buy them cheers

Have a look in the oil reference guide,

 

LSD Diff Oil

Stock = Unknown 75w90 Gear Oil

Capacity ~1.5L's (have 2L's Ready)

75w90 - Motul Gear 300 or Silkolene Syn5

I recommened either of the two listed - both have been used without issue.

Interval = 2 Years / 30,000miles depending on use/power levels

See here for details on changing diff oil.

 

Manual 6-speed V160/161 Gearbox

Stock = Toyota V160 oil (PART No. 08885-01306)

Capacity 1.8l's when dry

Toyota V160 Oil (comes in 1L cans - require 2 cans)

Alternative:

Esso Dextron D21065

Royal Purple SynchroMax

BMW oil called MTF-LT-1 or LT-2

Castrol Transmax Z - Feedback required from testers

Mobil ATF 220 - Feedback required from testers

I recommend you stick with stock but in recent times this has been hard to get hold of, so it's the Esso now...

Interval = 2 Years / 30,000miles depending on use/power levels
