    For differentials, transfer case and transmission is there an advantage/disadvantage to oem oils vs an aftermarket such as Lucas / Amsoil?

    thanks.

    For your 2012? Probably not. There were no LSD options for that year so any reputable, spec appropriate fluid should suffice.

    I wouldn’t mix transmission fluids so I stick with Toyota WS. I put amsoil in the diffs.

    It’s not uncommon for Toyota dealers to not even use WS transmission when servicing

    Many will use Valvoline Max life WS fluid
