It could be useful at higher mileage or if you are having specific problems with your diff, but opening it up every time you change the fluid is going to risk contamination.

For front diff, rear diff, and transfer case, do you fill in the amount you drain out or just fill in the amount Toyota recommends? You know how when you change engine oil you can never get all of it out, but you still put in the amount Toyota recommends. Is it similar to that?

@Tacomaholic 4 месяца назад

I always fill with what the owner's manual says but they'll start to slightly leak out of the fill plug at the proper level.

@rzrz3181 5 лет назад

What's the part number for the fill plug? The current one looks like it's getting stripped.

@Tacomaholic 4 года назад

Whenever I changed my fluids I just compared the old gaskets I was removing to the new ones and matched them up accordingly. Strange your read diff plugs didn't have any gaskets on them. Some of the gaskets are different sizes so you could see what fits the diff plus and compare to the ones I used in this vid.

I always prefer synthetic over conventional oil. You can certainly use the 75w85 Toyota oil but it's more expensive and tons of people use 75w90 with zero issues reported.

Just a comment/question. The local Toyota Dealer here does not recommend using a Synthetic in the rear diff on the TRD with limited slip Diff. They use non synthetic GL-5 with one bottle of Ford XL-3 friction modifier when doing changes. They did say ok to use synthetic in front diff and transfer case. Your thoughts or experiences with rear diff LS clutches chattering?

There might be some info about that on TW but often dealerships will say things like that to get you to buy their fluid.

They weren’t trying to sell me anything, I know the parts guy. He told me to just get the Ford friction modifier at the Ford Dealer, less than $10 and use any GL5 non synthetic I wanted.

Do not spend time trying to refill from the bottom. Same thing applies for transmission. Fill from the top. Get a length of heater hose - put a small 3-4" tube in one end - clamp it tight with hose clamp - feed it down to the refill hole - then stick funnel in the other end - hose slung over the top of the rear tire - pour in gear oil slowly - pull up just a hair on the funnel to create a vent for better flow

@Tacomaholic 5 лет назад

Yeah I won't be using the pump next time for the rear diff. PITA. The trans fill hole area is pretty tight though so the pump might be needed for that.

@MR-nz5pg 5 лет назад

For the A750E/A750F auto trans - use a 70" length of 5/8" OD 1/2" ID clear vinyl hose. Fits nice and snug into the refill hole - no slipping out. Refill from the top under the hood - same deal as diff - funnel. See post #29 in this thread - 5th Gen 4Runner - but same transmission used in that vehicle as 2nd Gen Tacoma. www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/186930-transmission-temp-check-mode-2.html

@michaelmisiaszek2514 3 года назад

That's what I wanted to hear about. Isn't that spare tire mechanism crazy? I am going to put 4 quarts of gear oil in a tub of hot water first, connect hose to the bottle, invert it and insert the hose end into the fill port. Seems real straight forward and I was hesitant to try this as the guy obviously had plenty of time on his hands under there pumping away. Wonder why he didn't rethink it?

@jeffthompson8663 3 года назад

@@michaelmisiaszek2514 putting bottles of oil in a tub of hot water is weird. Hot water will build pressure in those sealed bottles, probably not enough room under your truck to do that anyway, just get a pump, it's not a marathon of who's quickest, and it's alot less mess.

@Methadras 5 лет назад

Just a small pro tip. Where some cheap nitrile gloves. Saves you having to clean our hands with all of that oil on them. Also if no one has said so, you can get a drill pump, which is a cheap siphon pump that you connect your drill to and drive it that way. Simple and easy. And one more thing if you think about it. I think Fumoto makes a drain valve for the differential, so putting one of those on there to do small oil quality tests without having to drain the or open the differential helps too.

@Tacomaholic 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching! Hadn't heard about the fumoto for the diff. I've got one for my oil pan though and love it.

@Methadras 5 лет назад

I looked into seeing if Fumoto makes a valve for the diff. They don't and not one I can see. However, you could put a threaded adapter to tie in a Fumoto into the diff, but I think that would stick out so far as to be impractical. Especially if you go offroad. It might even be impractical even if you don't now that I really think about it. Okay, NVM. Forget I even mentioned it. Lol.

Hi Richard. Different places charge different prices for these oil changes, but assuming you have the tools on hand and only have to buy the oil you will probably save between $50-$100. Checkout my latest video about the Transfer Case oil change (if you have a 4x4) where the dealership charges $134 and it only cost me $22 in oil.
