PROCEDURE
DRAIN TRANSFER OIL
Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
| *1 | Transfer Filler Plug |
| *2 | Transfer Drain Plug |
Using a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and 10 x 12 mm long offset wrench, remove the transfer filler plug and gasket.
Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the transfer drain plug and gasket and drain the transfer oil.
Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install a new gasket and the drain plug.
ADD TRANSFER OIL
Using a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and 10 x 12 mm long offset wrench, remove the transfer filler plug and gasket.
Add transfer oil.
| Oil grade |
|---|
| Toyota Genuine Differential gear oil LT SAE 75W-85 API GL-5 or equivalent |
| Viscosity |
|---|
| SAE 75W-85 |
| *a | 0 to 5.0 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) |
Pour oil so that the oil level is between 0 to 5.0 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the transfer filler plug hole.
Note
When adding oil, pour it slowly.
Add oil a little at a time, waiting several minutes between each addition of oil.
Too much or too little oil will lead to transfer problems.
| Standard Capacity |
|---|
| 0.40 to 0.50 liters (0.43 to 0.52 US qts, 0.36 to 0.44 Imp. qts) |
Wait approximately 5 minutes and check that the oil level has not changed.
| *a | 10 mm Straight Hexagon Wrench |
| *b | 12 mm Hexagon Socket Wrench |
| *c | 10 x 12 mm Long Offset Wrench |
| *d | Fulcrum Length |
Using a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench, 12 mm hexagon socket wrench and 10 x 12 mm long offset wrench, install a new gasket into the transfer filler plug and then install the transfer filler plug.
Note
After adding oil, drive the vehicle and recheck the oil level Click here.
Tech Tips
This torque value is effective when offset wrench is straight to a torque wrench.
Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
When using a long offset wrench (fulcrum length of 189.75 mm (7.47 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 255 mm (10.04 in.)): 22.4 N*m (228 kgf*cm, 17 ft.*lbf)
