Hi guys,
I'm planning to change my lexus lx470 2005 deferential oil because it is 97k mile and I got it second hand,
My lexus is USA specification,
I got it from USA,
This is big issue her because the lexus local service center refuse to do maintenance as it's imported vehicle.
The problem is I can't find recommended differential oil which is API GL-5 SAE90 locally and the local Lexus center refuse to sell me the oil and refuse to do the work.
The question is can I use guinune toyota GL-5 85W90 oil instead, for rear and front differential??
Note: I'm living in hot area no snow and the winter here is not so cooled minimum 16 degree C.
Please guide me

I had the same problem, all that was available was 85w90 so that is what I used. They are so similar I can't see it being a problem. Don't forget about the transfer case.

Thanks brother
I already used 85W90 and for transfer case I used ac dilco GL-5 80W90 gear oil.
I don't know if it's good or not, after all it's gear oil with small diffrence I guess.

Thanks again
I don't know why nobody response in this forum.
