time to change oil in my 73 series LC (4,2d man) gear box,transfer case and axles(not LSD).
thinking to use valvoline HP gear oil 80W90 everywhere,as recommended by valvoline

however i know Toyota dealerships use Castrol,
castrol recommend MUltritrax(or VMX or Syntrax) for gear box and transfer case
and EPX80w90 for diffs

I mean its more conveniet to have one oil for everything,for this reason i'd prefer Valvoline,but what about quality/performance?
is Castrol any better since it is Toyota's choice?
also is there anybody using ELF oil for transmission?any good?
cheers
