PLACE FRONT WHEELS FACING STRAIGHT AHEAD
DRAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL
Stop the vehicle on a level place.
for Front Differential:
Remove the engine under cover.
Remove the filler plug and gasket.
Remove the drain plug and gasket, and drain the oil.
Install a new gasket and the drain plug.
for Rear Differential:
Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, remove the filler plug and gasket.
| *A | for 2GR-FSE | *B | for 4GR-FSE |

REMOVE ENGINE ASSEMBLY
REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY
Support the front differential carrier assembly with a jack.
Note
Do not drop the front differential carrier assembly.
Remove the 3 bolts and front differential carrier assembly.
Note
Do not damage the installation surface when removing the front differential carrier assembly.
The remaining oil may leak out when removing the front differential carrier assembly.
Securely support the differential carrier while performing this step to avoid excessively tilting or dropping the differential carrier.
SECURE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY
Set the front differential carrier assembly to an overhaul stand, etc. as shown in the illustration.
REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE OIL SEAL RH
| *1 | Front Differential Case Oil Seal |
Using SST, remove the front differential case oil seal RH.
REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE OIL SEAL LH
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure described for the RH side.
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE OIL SEAL RH
| *1 | Front Differential Case Oil Seal |
Using SST and a hammer, tap in a new front differential case oil seal RH to the differential carrier assembly.
| Standard depth |
|---|
| 7.5 to 8.5 mm (0.296 to 0.334 in.) |
Note
Tap the front differential case oil seal uniformly so that the oil seal is straight.
Do not excessively tap the front differential case oil seal.
Make sure the difference between the maximum and minimum measured values is less than 0.45 mm (0.0177 in.), as a greater difference may lead to oil leaks.
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE OIL SEAL LH
| *1 | Front Differential Case Oil Seal |
Using SST and a hammer, tap in a new front differential case oil seal LH to the differential carrier assembly.
| Standard depth |
|---|
| 1.0 to 2.0 mm (0.0394 to 0.0787 in.) |
Note
Tap the front differential case oil seal uniformly so that the front differential case oil seal is straight.
Do not excessively tap the front differential case oil seal.
Make sure the difference between the maximum and minimum measured values is less than 0.47 mm (0.0185 in.), as a greater difference may lead to oil leaks.
REMOVE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY
Remove the differential carrier from the overhaul stand, etc.
INSTALL FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY
Support the differential carrier assembly with a jack. Temporarily install the differential carrier assembly to the engine assembly with the 3 bolts.
Tighten the 3 bolts to install the differential carrier assembly.
INSTALL ENGINE TO VEHICLE
ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL
| *a | 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) |
Add differential oil so that the oil level is within 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) of 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.
for Front Differential:
| Oil type |
|---|
| Hypoid gear oil API GL-5 or equivalent |
| Recommended Viscosity | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Standard Differential Oil Capacity |
|---|
| 0.65 to 0.75 liters (0.69 to 0.79 US qts, 0.58 to 0.66 Imp. qts) |
Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, install a new gasket and the filler plug.
Install the engine under cover.
for Rear Differential:
| Oil type and viscosity |
|---|
| Toyota genuine differential gear oil LT 75W-85 GL-5 or equivalent |
| Standard Differential Oil Capacity | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Install a new gasket and the filler plug.
