Default Brand for Trans and Diff Fluid Change

Besides the Toyota WS fluid.., what other brands of fluid manufacturers do you use? Considering Redline D6 for tranny and GL5 75W90 for the diffs and trans case. Thanks for your input!

I used WS for the trans and Mobil1 75W90 for all the diffs.

I recently did this, I bought the WS fluid off of Rock Auto for less than $10. They're just under the mother brand name which is Aisin, but it is the OEM part number and everything. Toyota just rebrands it. Used Amsoil for the diff and transfer case.

WS for transmission. But any good quality gear-oil that meets the specifications is fine for the differentials. I've used Castrol with good results (i.e. no problems).

I use Mobil 1 for both different and transfer case for both of my rigs. I use valvoline max life for the trannies. Approved WS compliant. Way cheaper. And a nice synthetic to boot.
