Transmission oil?
I need to replace my front drive axle as my CV boot had a tear in it. My buddy said that I needed to grab some transmission fluid as when I remove the drive axle the transmission fluid will leak out.
There in lies my question. I have a Yaris 2008 Manual transmission and when I check the owner's manual I see: Quote:

I'm fairly new here but from what I've seen people recommend RedLine oil or Amsoil GL4 75W90 gear oil for the manual transmission on the Yaris.
DOT 3 is actually brake fluid that is also used in clutch systems. I'll look around for the links I had to the RedLine oil and the Amsoil websites for the products. EDIT: Here's the links to what the products are. You can put GL5 in the Yaris Manual transmission but it seems to be highly recommended to use GL4 instead.

GL4 is what seems to be mostly used in the Yaris manual transmission. GL5 seems to not be the ideal oil to use apparently from the research I've done around this site. The two most popular oils seem to be the RedLine and AMSOIL gear lube (GL4 75W90 synthetic oil). The DOT 3 is actually just brake fluid (It is also used in the clutch hydraulic system, hence why it's shown under fluid type for clutch).
