Re: 99 Prism(corolla) differential
From what I could find, Dexron III is the correct fluid to use. Older Gen III Camrys like mine are the same way. If it truly was gear oil in there before (I hear you...tranny fluid & gear oil smell and feel completely different), I might suggest running it for a few hundred miles and then drain/refill again just to be sure you got it all out. But I can't see any real harm right away with the gear oil...it's an open differential...unless you noticed alot of metal shavings (I doubt). Hope this helps!
