Anyone Have a Line on OEM Diff Fluid Right Now?

[BIGPZA]

Looking to do a front and rear diff fluid and transfer fluid change next weekend and everywhere is backordered. Anyone know of a dealership or site that may have in stock?

Are you hesitant to use off the shelf 75w90? I only ask because that's what 95% of dealerships will use if they do it for you. Those Valvoline squeeze bags are really convenient.

Oh wow, really? Makes me feel a little better. My initial plan was to use Amsoil, but I have a mechanic friend who argued that while Amsoil is great and all, you should try and use OEM wherever possible.

Amsoil, love their squeeze bags. Did hook up some hose to the bag for the front diff but they make it easy.

I'm getting ready to do a rear diff service on my truck. I'll be using good old Valvoline 75W90.

I swapped my diff fluid to Amsoil.

That will be me at about the 10k mark. Gonna do it a little early on the first one. I think Toyota recommends to inspect it at 30. Those Valvoline bags are too convenient and easily available everywhere.

I did mine at 1200, the rear diff had lots of metal shards and fine particulates. The front was pretty nasty also.
