DIFFERENTIAL OIL REPLACEMENT

PROCEDURE


  1. DRAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL


    1. Stop the vehicle on a level place.

    2. for Front Differential:


      1. A000TF3

        Using a 10 mm socket hexagon wrench, remove the filler plug and gasket.

      2. A000YH8

        Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench and 10 mm union nut wrench, remove the drain plug and gasket, and drain the differential oil.

        *a Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length

        Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench and 10 mm union nut wrench, install a new gasket and the drain plug.

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

        Tech Tips


        • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench Click here.

        • When using a union nut wrench (fulcrum length of 22 mm (0.866 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.087 in.)): 35 N*m (355 kgf*cm, 26 ft.*lbf)

    3. A000YI1

      for Rear Differential:


      1. Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, remove the filler plug and gasket.

      2. Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, remove the drain plug and gasket, and drain the oil.

      3. Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, install a new gasket and the drain plug.

        Torque:
        49 N*m  { 500 kgf*cm, 37 ft.*lbf }

  2. ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL


    1. for Front Differential:


      1. A000TJJE01
        *1 0 to 5 mm

        Add differential oil so that the oil level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.197 in.) from the bottom lip of the differential filler plug hole.

        Note


        • 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 LT 75W-85 GL-5 or equivalent.
        Capacity
        0.7 to 0.8 liters (0.74 to 0.84 US qts., 0.62 to 0.70 Imp. qts.)
      2. A000WZ1

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

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

    2. for Rear Differential:


      1. A000Y7IE01
        *1 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 hole.

        Note


        • 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

      2. A000UUE

        Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, install a new gasket and the filler plug.

        Torque:
        49 N*m  { 500 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf }
