2005 toyota tundra front differential oil change. Differential fluid breaks down by becoming less viscous thinner and does not have contaminants as motor oil does. Hi everyone I am planning on doing oil changes for my front and rear differentials and my transfer case for my 2005 tacoma v6 40L 4x4. I Thought I would post how I did my differential oil change this weekend on my 2012 Tundra Crewmax 4x4.
Recently purchased a 2006 SR5 4wdw 15k on the clock. Joined Sep 23 2005. 1999 Tacoma 4X4 Crushed Courtesy of Toyota 92009.
Owners manual recommends front and rear differential gear oil change every 15k or 30k depending on towing use. 15k seems extremely conservative to me. Let the oil drain until it is slowly dripping.
The Tundra is considered to be one of the most All-American full-size pickup truck models by a foreign manufacturer endowed with the look feel and might expected from an American truck. This additive technology assures an excellent protection of the gears. Blackmbj and I will attack both our trucks at the same time againtu.
Remove the fill plug and drain plug and let the oil drain for a 5 minutes or so. Ravenol MTF-3 75W is a replacement for both Toyota transfer case fluid part numbers 08885-81080 and 08885-81081 for the following Toyota Tundra 4WD model fitments. The owners manual however states that I should use sae 90 gear oil for my rear diff and after calling a bunch of places asking which specifc oil I should use I just got mixed answers.
Genuine Toyota Parts the Right Choice. Using the 12mm socket remove the 4 skid plate. 2013-2019 Toyota Tundra 4WD 46L V8 gasoline models use 08885-81080 or 08885.
