  3. ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL


    1. Front differential:


      1. B004SFTC01
        *a 0 to 5 mm

        Add differential oil so that the oil level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the differential filler plug opening.

        Note


        • Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

        • Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.

        • After changing the oil, drive the vehicle and then check the oil level again.

        Oil Type
        Toyota genuine differential gear oil LT75W-85 GL-5 or equivalent
        Standard Differential Oil Capacity
        0.60 to 0.70 liters (0.63 to 0.74 US qts, 0.53 to 0.62 Imp. qts)

      2. Using a 10 mm socket hexagon wrench, install a new gasket and the rear differential filler plug.

        Torque:
        39 N*m  { 398 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }
