2006 GS300 Owners manual pg 538 states:

"Toyota Genuine Differential Synthetic gear oil
API GL-5 SAE 75W-90 or its equivalent."

I have the same grade gear oil on my motorcycle but can't get good access to the fill plugs on the two GS differentials so I just had my Lexus dealer do this. They charged $107 for both including the oil and I had a $50 off coupon for service so it ended up costing me only $57.00. (They normally charge $150 but they had a free tech so the total labor for both diffs was less than an hour thus reducing my cost.)

umm i wonder if other 3gs use the same. thanks for the info!

That sounds very reasonable (disregarding your coupon). Your motorcycle takes more oil than just engine oil? Or is it a shaft drive and that's what you're talking about?

Mine's a chain drive and the only oil I need to put in is regular motor oil, which also lubricates the clutch.

My previous Zuki Intruder was a shaft drive as is my dad's Honda Shadow and my brother's Shadow. All of which use the 75w-90. (My new Kawi Vulcan is a belt drive, though.)

Shift drives are awesome... cleaning and adjusting chains is a PITA. I suppose belts are good for the same reason but have their own problems.
