Excellent alternative to Toyota's high-priced version
Recently hit 30k miles on my 2014 Toyota Tundra CrewCab and wanted to perform the recommended maintenance on my front/rear diffs as well as the transfer case. In my past Toyota's (all have been 4Runners), I typically used the same gear oil (75w90 synthetic) in the transfer case as I did in the diffs. My original intention was to do the same on my Tundra. However as I was doing some research on the necessary fluid quantity, I discovered that in 2014, Toyota changed suppliers for the transfer case (From a Japanese supplier to Borg-Warner). As a part of that change, the recommended gear oil changed as well. For the transfer case Borg-Warner (and Toyota) specifically call out 75W (not 75w85 or 90). Good thing I researched a bit...I almost screwed up.Unfortunately 1 liter of OEM 75W costs over $54 at my local stealership. Even worse, since I need 1.3 liters for a drain/refill I'm forced to buy 2 liters and let .7 Liter ($38 worth) go unused! No thanks.Fortunately more online research led me to Ravenol and Amazon. As the front of the bottle states, Ravenol J1C1003 SAE 75W is a fully synthetic direct replacement for the OEM Toyota gear oil (Part # 08885-81081 which in turn is the European part # for the U.S version 08885-81080). Ravenol is FAR more affordable and better yet, it comes with an ingenious built-in fill-spout. Seriously, Mobil1, Royal Purple and other gear-oil suppliers could take a lesson from this container design. Using the built in spout, I was able to fill my X-fer case without spilling a single drop (other than when the fill hole began to weep once it was full). If you have a Toyota and requires 75W and you can't stomach the price of the OEM - give the Ravenol a try.

Can someone confirm I'd I recived the wrong item on the left? I decided to buy a 2nd bottle incase I didn't have enough when changing the oil in my transfer case for my Toyota and I notice that one says manual transmission instead of the German writting on the right which is exactly the picture when ordering.
