1.DRAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL (except Torque Vectoring Differential)
Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
Using a 10 mm socket hexagon wrench, remove the rear differential filler plug and gasket.
Using a 10 mm socket hexagon wrench, remove the rear differential drain plug and gasket.
Drain the differential oil.
Install a new gasket and the rear differential drain plug.
2.DRAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL (for Torque Vectoring Differential)
Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
Remove the 2 bolts.
Move aside the No. 2 differential disconnect cover as shown in the illustration.
Using a 10 mm socket hexagon wrench, remove the rear differential filler plug and gasket.
Using a 10 mm socket hexagon wrench, remove the rear differential drain plug and gasket.
Drain the differential oil.
Install a new gasket and the rear differential drain plug.
3.ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL (except Torque Vectoring Differential)
| *a | 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) |
Add Toyota Genuine Differential gear oil LX.
Pour oil into the rear differential carrier assembly so that the oil level is within 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) of the bottom of the filler plug opening.
Excessively large or small quantities of oil may cause problems.
SAE 75W-85
Toyota genuine differential gear oil LX API GL-5 or equivalent
0.45 to 0.55 liters (0.48 to 0.58 US qts., 0.40 to 0.48 Imp. qts.)
Wait approximately 5 minutes and check that the oil level has not changed.
Using a 10 mm socket hexagon wrench, install a new gasket and the rear differential filler plug.
Drive the vehicle and check the oil level again. If necessary, add differential oil.
4.ADD DIFFERENTIAL OIL (for Torque Vectoring Differential)
| *a | 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) |
Add Toyota Genuine Differential gear oil LX.
Pour oil into the rear differential carrier assembly so that the oil level is within 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) of the bottom of the filler plug opening.
Excessively large or small quantities of oil may cause problems.
Using transfer oil other than the specified oil may cause abnormal noise or vibration, or damage the transfer of your vehicle.
Toyota genuine differential gear oil LX
0.50 to 0.54 liters (0.53 to 0.57 US qts, 0.44 to 0.47 Imp. qts)
Wait approximately 5 minutes and check that the oil level has not changed.
Move aside the No. 2 differential disconnect cover as shown in the illustration.
| *a | 10 mm Straight Hexagon Wrench |
| *b | Union Nut Wrench |
| *c | Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length |
Using SST, 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and union nut wrench, install a new gasket and the rear differential filler plug.
Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
When using a union nut wrench (fulcrum length of 22 mm (0.866 in.)) + SST (fulcrum length of 150 mm (5.906 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.087 in.)):
19.9 N*m (203 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf)
Install the 2 bolts.
Drive the vehicle and check the oil level again. If necessary, add differential oil.
