For the 75w-90 oils, can you mix these with the standard stuff Toyota puts in (10w40) or do you have to completely drain that out first?
also, at what mileage intervals is it recommended to use these?
I have about 15k but I often drive through heavy traffic on the highway and sometimes experience similar shifting problems, so I was looking to use redline. Any thoughts?

drain and refill . Then use your choice of the REDLINE MT-90 or the AMSOIL MTG . These are GL-4 oils and you will encounter better shifting than with a GL-5 . Also less corrosive . Know from own experience with GL-5 and GL-4 gear oil . GL-4 is a must . GOOD LUCK
