rear diff help
i'm planning to chang my diff fluid and been looking at moble 1 or royal purple but dont know what weight to use??? and also been searching on what size crush washer to buy but have no luck....can anybody help here.....thanks
I just bought some 75W 90 Mobil 1 for my car. Here is the Chart from Sewell. Unfortunately it does not mention the GS 400. I think the GS 400 comes with 75w 85 Stock, I could be wrong though.

Crush washer? I don't think you need to replace that. I don't know if we even have one to be honest. I was going to change mine out but couldn't get the damn plugs to loosen up. I'm putting Royal Purple 75w-90 in it and you need 2 quarts. Stock is 80w-90 but 75w-90 is close enough and is not too much of a difference where it will cause any damage.
go to this page

then click on the one that says gaskets (yes even though it says Gasket "for oil drain plug")

can buy them individually or in a 10 pack

Seriously, how many people change the washer for their oil drain plug when they change their oil? I agree that it's cheap enough where if you had it or can easily get it, then go ahead and change it but if you have to order it online and wait for it, forget it unless you see fluid leaking around the drain plug. The washer is the least of my concern at the moment. My problem is that I can't get the damn plugs loose!

BTW almost ALL toyota/lexus dealers have these in stock so no excuse not to... OR do what i do and next time you order from sewell order a bag of 10 of them and piggyback it so u dont pay extra freight for it
