2. Differential: Royal Purple 75w 90
3. Coolant Toyota Red
4. Brake fluid Motol brake fluid

Might want to add for coolant to add Redline Water Wetter with an 75% water 25% coolant
Motul is a little of an overkill for a gs if u ask me. valvoline dot 4 is pretty good stuff
tranny i use stock type IV
Thanks,

This is what I use:
Amsoil Synthetic Engine Oil 5w-30
Amsoil Synthetic ATF Toyota Type IV Approved
Amsoil Differential Synthetic Gear Lube 75w-90
Amsoil Superduty Oil Filter SDF57
Coolant ONLY OEM Toyota red coolant. The use of coolant additives can void your warranty.
Brake Fluid - ATE Super Blue Racing: Besides being a cool blue color, it also comes in an amber color so that you know for sure how well you have flushed out the old brake fluid.
Overall, I felt a change when going synthetic at each location. Engine idle, tranny shifts all had silky smoothness and buttery shifts.
I've used Redline, Mobile 1 or Royal Purple in the past. They're all good.
