If I remember correctly as long as it meets GL-5 you should be fine whichever you choose. But I'm sure its the one that starts with LX if you have torsen diff

If you're using the factory gear oil, use the LX 75W85, LT is for non-LSD models (08-09 IS F). Using LT with the Torsen does not work well.

Make sure you get new crush rings before you open up the fill and drain bolts.

Wow. I would never pay that for gear oil. You could have bought a gallon of Red Line Shockproof for half that, and Shockproof is one of the best diff oils out there. Even the OS Giken super special OS250R diff oil (which I think is stupid expensive) is only $50 a liter.

Why would you use LSD gear oil for a differential that doesn't use a clutch? It's a Torsen, it's all gears inside that unit. Last I want in there is to add a friction modifier.

LX Gear Oil is not for clutch-type LSD's, it's for Torsen type LSD's. You can use a regular non-LSD gear oil without friction modifier in the Torsen without issue for the most part, however the Toyota LT gear oil (used in 08-09 IS F and other non-Torsen differentials) doesn't work well with the Torsen T2 from my experience.

Interesting price on the LX fluid in the USA, it's quite a bit cheaper in Canada.

Fam you overpaid for that fluid.
and by overpaid .. i mean threw money down the drain.

amsoil, and redline had you covered for wayyyyyy less than what you shelled out .. and their fluids are world class.

but as usual .. if your happy, I'm happy, and the diff is happy.

Case closed.

That's way too much to pay for oil.

Yeah I have to agree with everyone above, I think you got rolled up. I paid around that price at the dealership for oil, change, and labor combined

I would because I have the Giken diff, but simply from a cost perspective, the Toyota stuff is ridiculously priced compared to some of the most expensive stuff out there. It reminds me of the infamous V-160 oil for the Getrag in the MkIV Supra. $50 a liter for what amounts to Dexron II (if you do all the homework on the specs). All because Toyota distributed it.
