    I have a 2011 Tundra Limited 5.7L and want to know if anyone has used "Ravenol" Synthetic oils for their differentials and/or transfer case and if so how has it worked for you?
    Ravenol has a kit for the Tundra (2007-2012) that includes the differential oil, front & rear (SAE 75W-85 API GL-5) gear oil and Transfer Case oil (SAE 75W-90 API GL-5) which I'm thinking about using. Thanks in advance.

    Lots of trucks on here running Ravenol. I have it in my transfer case and no problems so far.

    I had problems with Toyota oil in transfer case in winters. Gone after replacing with Ravenol, it shifts in and out reliably.
