5. DRAIN TRANSFER OIL

(a) Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

(b) Using a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and 10 x 12 mm long offset wrench, remove the transfer filler plug and gasket from the transfer assembly.

(c) Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the transfer drain plug and gasket from the transfer assembly and drain the transfer oil.

(d) Using a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and 10 x 12 mm long offset wrench, temporarily install the transfer filler plug and gasket to the transfer assembly.

HINT:

Reuse the old gasket as the transfer filler plug will be removed again.

(e) Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install the transfer drain plug and a new gasket to the transfer assembly.

Torque:

39 N·m {398 kgf·cm, 29 ft·lbf}

6. ADD TRANSFER OIL

(a) Using a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and 10 x 12 mm long offset wrench, remove the transfer filler plug and gasket from the transfer assembly.

(b) Add transfer oil.

Oil Type and Viscosity:

Toyota genuine differential gear oil LT SAE 75W-85 API GL-5 or equivalent

Standard Capacity:

0.45 liters (0.47 US qts, 0.39 Imp. qts)

NOTICE:

Using transfer oil other than the specified oil may cause abnormal noise or vibration, or damage the transfer of the vehicle.

(c) Pour transfer oil so that the oil level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.197 in.) from the bottom lip of the transfer filler plug hole.

NOTICE:

  • When adding transfer oil, pour it slowly.
  • Add transfer oil a little at a time, waiting several minutes between each addition of transfer oil.
  • Too much or too little transfer oil will lead to transfer problems.

*a

0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.197 in.)

(d) Wait approximately 5 minutes and check that the oil level has not changed.

(e) Using SST, a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and 10 mm union nut wrench, install the transfer filler plug and a new gasket to the transfer assembly.

SST: 09961-00950

Torque:

Specified tightening torque :

39 N·m {398 kgf·cm, 29 ft·lbf}

NOTICE:

After adding transfer oil, drive the vehicle and recheck the oil level.

HINT:

  • Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
