On-Vehicle Inspection [12/2012 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- CHECK TRANSFER OIL
- Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
- 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.
- 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.
*a 0 to 5.0 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) - If the oil level is low, refill oil after checking for oil leaks.
- 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).
*1 10 mm Straight Hexagon Wrench *2 12 mm Hexagon Socket Wrench *3 10 x 12 mm Long Offset Wrench Torque: 39 N*m (398 kgf*cm, 28 ft.*lbf)
NOTE:Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a offset wrench is combined with a torque wrench (Refer to PRECAUTION [12/2012 - ] ).
HINT:
When tightening, combine the offset wrench with the torque wrench so that they are in a straight line.
