      *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 No. 2 transfer case plug (for filler) hole.

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

      Oil grade

      Toyota Genuine Differential gear oil LT API GL-5 or equivalent

      Note:

      Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a offset wrench is combined with a torque wrench (Click hereClick hereClick hereClick hereClick here).

      Tip:

      When tightening, combine the offset wrench with the torque wrench so that they are in a straight line.
