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. |
That's what I thought too. When you factor in the exchange rate it's about 3 x the US price. It's just imported in the US containers in quarts and gallons. Cheeky buggers!
I'll chase up the Pentosin on Wednesday. It should be in stock at the dealers.
Thanks for the info. If i change the diff oil too I want to get a good fully synthetic oil. It seems to be the theme that they didn't exactly break the bank with the oil they used in the Subaru factory
For anyone in Oz also looking there's a couple of local oils with good reputations that might also be ok. Both fully synthetic.
This one over in Queensland with the Gear SYN 7590.

Also Penrite Pro Gear 75w-90 which I have in my Triton and after trying several is by far the best.
