TRANSFER OIL ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK TRANSFER OIL


    1. Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

    2. A01XO74

      Using a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and 10 x 12 mm long offset wrench, remove the No. 2 transfer case plug (for filler) and gasket.

    3. A01XOF9C01
      *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
      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. A01XPEPC01
      *1 10 mm Straight Hexagon Wrench
      *2 12 mm Hexagon Socket Wrench
      *3 10 x 12 mm Long Offset Wrench
      *a Torque Wrench 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 No. 2 transfer case plug (for filler) and then install the No. 2 transfer case plug (for filler).

      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.
