TRANSFER OIL ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK TRANSFER OIL

   
   

   1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

   2. 

      Using a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and 10 x 12 mm long offset wrench, remove the transfer filler plug and gasket.

   3. 

      *a	0 to 5.0 mm (0 to 0.196 in.)

      Check 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.

      If the result is not as specified, add transfer oil.

      Oil grade
      Toyota Genuine Differential gear oil LT SAE 75W-85 API GL-5 or equivalent

      Viscosity
      SAE 75W-85

      Note

      
      

      • When adding oil, pour it slowly.

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

   4. If the oil level is low, refill oil after checking for oil leaks.

   5. 

      *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.

      Torque:

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

      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.
