I changed the front diff fluid at 15k. I was surprised how dark and the metal fakes. I feel great knowing that's out. No noise and it engages faster. Changed the t case and rear axle.
I change my diff fluid too. It's pretty easy really, not any harder than an oil change. Can't figure out why shops charge so much to change it. Mine wanted $140 per diff hahaha! Why? It's 10 minutes of work.
Very nice and informative. Can you elaborate on how many different types of washers you used? I am a bit confused on what washer goes where. It's my understanding that there are metal crush washers, aluminum washers and a copper washer for the differentials and transfer case.
Question for the diferencial i need to change the rear diferencial? , the tranfer diferencial?, and the front diferecial? how much oil i need? My truck is 2020 toyota tacoma trd of road. Thank you
I have that same exact oil pan. It's a crap design. It's too shallow and oil always splatters out of it. Obviously ZERO testing went into the design of it.
I've got a 2017 4x4 taco,never knew about this til I was looking around. How often do I need to replace this fluid? Im at 101K miles already. Is this why my taco feels like it stalls?
The rear differential bought every 30,000 if you’re doing a lot of four wheeling but every 15,000 the front differential 50 to 60,000 best to check your manual to make sure
this bothers me more than anything else.. As a former Air Force military maintenance man I continually see a major error in almost all these videos, no matter Who makes them. YOU SHOULD NEVER double click a torque wrench. That was forced into our heads and was alway a warning in the Technical orders. If you double click a torque wrench you are actualy over torquing. This won't change anyones habits, but I'm sure there are many vets out there and present military maintenance men that will agree, and cringe when the see it happen.
This was also forced into my head when I worked at a quick lube shop. But we were also using Harbor Freight torque wrenches, so the first click could just be it breaking.

Great video. Love how the torque specs, oils, and tools are listed in the description. Saving video so I can easily refer to it later. Thanks!
Glad to help
Nice straight forward video on differential oil changes! I will definitely reference this when the time comes for me. Cheers 🍻
Don’t forget to check the axle vent cap. It’s left of the differential on top.
Good video, thanks for adding torque specs, washer pack & fluids! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Great video! Thank you!
Great video, very informative hands on 5 star my friend thank you.
Good video, thanks. Look forward to the transfer case fluid change video.
Great video! I need to do mine soon😩
Thanks you ! Best video.
I've had that same problem with that style of oil catch pan, its because the catch area isn't deep enough, or slightly angled at the drain area.
Thank you very much.

If you could keep the fluid spilling over the ground that would be a great video. Also once hearing a click you should stop turning the torque wrench.

Great video except you need to use change the oil pan.
Fucking awesome man. Thanks
When you’re trying to break a bolt loose, I’ve found it easier to push, not pull. Also, might save you hitting yourself in the face accidentally.
I would have let all that residual fluid drain out, given all the work and prep, what's another 5 minutes?
good video
Do what I did...cut the top of that oil drain pan right out with a jig saw,they are too shallow..
Smart! Engine oil usually doesn't come out that fast so I never had a problem until then.
Thanks for the video just bought a 2017 tacoma is that for 4 wheel drive in the front?
Question for the diferencial i need to change the rear diferencial?
, the tranfer diferencial?,
and the front diferecial? how much oil i need?
My truck is 2020 toyota tacoma trd of road.
Thank you
diff fluid smells so bad to me, don't know why it's so different than other oils

How many miles do you have on the truck to do this service and also do you did that transfer case to ?
I did this as part of the 60K service interval. I’m going to do the transfer case and manual gearbox soon. Stay tuned for that video!
I think it's 30k miles for diffs/t-case.
@@Resistculturaldeclineyou are right... Its every 30k miles for the axels and transfer case fluid change 👍
Shloppy shloppy😄
