Great! They sell it just up the road, 20km away.
3.78L of MT-90 is $168!

Holy crap that's expensive! You only need ~2.3L of that for the transmission. I used MT-90 in mine with good results until the temperature got below 40-50F (5-10C). Others have had better luck with the MT-85. For that money, see if you can find a supplier for Pentosin...really good stuff.
The preferred weight for the rear diff is 75W85. Here is a link to the proper weight Redline oil...

75W85 is fairly common in the Toyota world, and may be in stock at your local Toyota dealer.
75W90 GL5 is also acceptable for the rear end, and may be easier to find.
