That's the stuff. You need 3.5 for the rear diff and 1.8 for the trans.

Yep you drain it out and fill it back up

An additional lsd additive isn't required for the Amsoil, but I added some for good measure

What kind of additive did you use?

 

[Gators Taco]

No additive needed. That the oil I used in my 07 tranny and diff. Don't forget to do the engine at the same time. I've been using Amsoil for the pass 25 years on all my cars and trucks

I ran the 0-30 Sig series oil and didn't like it at all...

You should be using 5W30 in your 08 . http://www.amsoil.com/mygarage/vehiclelookuppage.aspx?url2=2008+TOYOTA+TACOMA+Z

what do you mean do the engine at the same time?

 

[Gators Taco]

You don't have to. Only on your next oil change if you want.

Just a heads up, but the transmission requires GL-4 fluid, and the diff requires GL-5. Not sure about Amsoil being a "one oil for all applications" for our truck.

Use this page to see the Redline recommended products for each (engine, transmission, diff):
http://www.redlineoil.com/application.aspx

I do know our (05-08) trucks do not require any additional friction modifiers for our "clutch type" LSD if you use the recommended Redline GL-5 fluid.
