Nothing yet I haven't had to change it out on my taco. She's got 2100 miles on her.
My tundra I used:
Castrol/Syntrax Limited Slip gear oil SAE 75W-90 had no problems with it. Worked well and was smooth.
I would be interested to see what sauce works we'll on taco's.

Used to use Mobil One, switched to Lucas non synthetic per a recommendation by ECGS but then switched to Amsoil since I'm a preferred customer.

Pop the fill port off, make sure your fluid is full.... get some on your finger, make sure it is fresh and looks amber/honey colored.

Make sure it's on level ground first.
