*USE 75W GL5 for transfer case. Available on Amazon*
yea after watching other videos I came back to this one then noticed this post. 1 L of the Toyota 75W is about $79 on Amazon.
Same info for Sequoia?
Thanks for the great video! Would it be a big problem if I used 75w-90 in the transfer case?
I am putting red line 75W-90NS GL5 in my transfer case
Have Amsoil 75-90w in my 2021 front, rear and transfer case and I've only noticed a more "dampened" engagement from original. Changed at 15k and at 16k. Multiple engagements.
the dust pan device was INGENIOUS!
Thanks for the video!!!
TH-cam creators like you save the DIY population collectively millions of dollars that would otherwise go to greedy stealerships.
Liked hit the bell and saved the video for later use. Keep the videos coming !
Great job. Thanks for taking time out of your day to help us. Loved the tip about removing the fill plug first. Just in case. Smart move
Nice tip on the sweeping pan, I will steal that idea.
New sub here. The dustpan trick is amazing!
Thanks for the video, I did mine today. You made it much easier by watching this first. That skid plate on the transfer case was a pain to get the two front bolts back on.
Great video! Thank you so much. All the stuff is arriving from Amazon tomorrow and then it's "go time".
This was a big help thank you Man, great video to the point with the right information, just did mine following your steps and it feels great to know its done right, the first time is always the hardest right, thanks again.
This helped me today. Thanks a lot! My crush washer pack that I purchased had aluminum washers for the transfer case plugs, but these were not used. The plugs just had what looked like teflon paste, no washer. I also tried to fill with the quarts without a hand pump, and was successful on the rear and transfer case, but the front needed the hand pump due to clearance. Also, my torque wrench and hex socket did not fit on the front plugs, so I could only estimate the tightness.
thanks for putting this together my friend; you the man.
Great job. Small detail and torque specs are nice!!
Great info, thanks for your hard work.
Thank you for making this video. Will be doing the same thing this weekend to my 2015 Tundra. Good tip with the dustpan; I hate taking the skid plate off.
Ya the skid plate sucks I snapped one of the bolts with my impact witch I need to change my oil in 500 miles
@@jamesgarrison6430 impact? Rookie move
Awesome video man, super helpful.
I really like the hole in the dust pan trick!
Thank you. This was an excellent video showing and explaining this process.
Thanks bro, nice info, I going a chance oil, front an rear differential for my tundra 5.7 pretty soon! Thanks again!!
Good on you for adding the torque specs to this job. That is the important info folks need to do this kind of maintenance correctly.
You don’t need to spec a dif bolt lol it’s not a internal engine part. Just snug it tight and quarter turn it.
@@ourpresidentswallows6017 There is a torque spec for almost everything. Lug nuts on tires, Oil drain plug, and diff bolts..etc. It's a Japanese thing. But I think him putting those numbers in the video will keep people from over tightening, which is just good information to have. Would you agree?
My dealer ship changed mine 2 months ago and I noticed differential fluid on my garage floor a week ago and took my 18 tundra back too them and to my surprise they owned up to it they messed up and hadn’t torqued down the front differential to spec’ I was glad to still find honest people are still out here
Can’t thank you enough. Informative and instills confidence. Changed the diff fluids on my 2013 Tundra and my wife’s 2008 Sequoia today. Dealership didn’t get all the crush washers right for me and there are differences between the two rigs. Your video gave me the most confidence. Saved me over $500 and I enjoyed doing it. Thanks!
Plus you do not even know what the dealer really does to your vehicles.
Yup i didnt feel like doing it and they wanted 850 for this plus transmission flush....f that. Great video.
Just a tip for future. Since it’s kind of hard to determine what 1.2qts is, just pump the fluid in just until you see it dribbling out the fill hole. Let it dribble out till it stops or there are just a few drops and close it up.
Yeah thats kind of the point but it gives you a guide how much fluid to buy
Make sure that your rig is leveled out as best as possible..
Too much oil might cavate.
Using a magnet inside fill hole is a great tip!
Fyi: I've been told, by my mechanic, not to change "diff" oil.. for the same reason, it's often said, not to change the "tranny" oil!
'If it's not broke don't fix it' philosophy, don't fix it!
Especially Toyota's!!
I pull a trailer with my 5.7l Tundra (with upgrades I made like: factory tow package to grade V hitch, TRD sway bar, SumoSprings bump stops, Bilstein shocks and new coil springs all around..
Other performance enhancements: S&B cold air intake system, 2 1/2" exhaust 'CatBack', P'chip, ect.
BeSafe!
@@Traveling_with_FIVE_Cats as a mechanic that is horrible advice. You want to change your fluids at the scheduled times. I agree you dont want to "flush" your tranny. But drain and fill it. Having some of the clutch material in your fluid is always good. You def want to change your diff and transfer case fluids though regularly. Oils break down. You have to change it. Now if you've prolonged it and have never done it then yea it can cause issues because the wear you've put on said tranny or diff have so much material in the fluid that it helps it continue on. Take it away and they fail. But they don't last as long going that route. Sounds like the mechanic you are talking to is wanting your money.
@@Jaxboy86 I have a 2017 Tundra that I bought a few months ago with 96k on it. I have no idea if these fluids have ever been changed and was planning on doing tranny, transfer case and both diffs very soon. Now have 114k on it. Change or no change?
@@Jaxboy86 is 160K on a 2008 without a change too long to bother changing it now? i never tow and we are slow drivers.
Great idea on the dust pan!!
thanks man. i was at about 34k mi, i was surprised how milky the rear diff was .. had a bit of filings on the magnet, the transfer case and front diff were looking really good... i used amsoil in their flexible packs worked awesome no pump...
Nice and clean work! Like on it!
Transfer case filler and drain plug = 25 N/m or 18 ft/lbf
Thanks Dealer never said anything so doing myself thanks great work! 34,000 miles 2021
this is awesome. You just saved me 600 bucks.
Awesome video, thanks 👍😎
I lift the driver side axle to get a more complete drain. Nice work!
Really good video👍🏽
Nice job sir......I'll be doing mine sooner than Toyotas recommended change also.
Thank you for making this video. Will be doing the same thing this weekend to my 2014 Tundra. I will follow every step you did 🤙
Nice video. Do you mind making one about how to lube the drive shaft?
Nice maintenance video. You also might want to mention if you have lockers or limited slips you might need to add a friction additive to the differential oil and may not want to use synthetic oil, it will make the lockers slip. Make sure that your transfer case uses gear oil and not ATF, a lot of new transfer cases use ATF. And last but not least change your vent valves or make sure that they work, you do not want to blow out sills or gaskets. If doing a water crossing or a lot of sand you might want to even extend your vents with a hose and put a filter on them so stuff does not get into your differentials or transfer case. The one other thing I thought of is use gaskets instead of silicone. If you do use silicone gasket maker make sure it's the right type for either ATF or the gear oil you're using as most oils and ATF will eat the wrong type of silicone. Once again great video and the dust pan was a good idea.
Hears a idea of the vents. Also the transmission and transfercase vents.

Nice vid! Can you make one doing the transmission flush/change please. Thanks
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video!! Do you have a video how to change oil to your transmission fluid as well? Thank you!
bring back the beard!! 😃
Great video! very well done. Nice camera work and explanations!
+genisis53 thanks for the comment. I too miss the beard. Might be needing to bring it back.
Great video
Really thorough video. 👍🇺🇸👍
Thanks man. I hope this helped you out. 🤘🏻
Good video! I am putting Ravenol in my truck. Appears to be the best of the fluids and for a few dollars more, it might prevent future problems.
Great idea with the small dust pan & great imstructional video with torque specs!
Subscribed !
Thanks for the vid bubba
I have super magnate under my engine and under transmission box.
A lot magnate on axles gear .
I changed oil 5k miles and oil filter 2.5 k miles.
Can you also make a video on drain and fill the atf please! Thanks
Thanks brother
Nice job. Any idea how frequently this needs to be completed? Thx!
Was there a reason for not using the Purple Power Syn Gear oil in both Cases? Great Video and thank you for taking the time to show us the easy way...
Dont forget to check the rear diff vent plug located on top. This is part of the recommended maintenance. If left in and not able to emit air vapor, one risks blowing axle seals or even worse. Dorman 924-262 Differential Vent Valve Compatible with Select Lexus / Toyota Models
Can you fill the front diff from up in the engine compartment with a tube? I'm using my son for help
Subscribed 🤙🏾. I jacked up the front of my 2021 4wd sr5. One side at a time. Passenger side is quiet while I spin the wheel. Driver side sounds like the wheel of fortune. Sound is coming more towards the axle or differential. Is that normal guys ?? Thanks.
Great video, brother. Very detailed and informative. I tried to find this info in the comments and video, but is it 4qts for the rear, 2.2qts for the front, and 1.2qts for the transfer case, correct? Having a hard time finding that info online.
Hi, great video. Just curious how many miles you had on your Tundra when you did the fluid changes in the front, rear differential and the transfer case. I also have a 2015 and I'm at 31,000 miles right now. Thanks!
Did you have to use a teflon sealant for the drain and fill bolts? I notice the newer tundra don’t have the washer/gasket anymore
Thanks
Great video. Where did you get the rear differential fluid? My mechanic said Toyota would not sell him any at the dealership.
do you just fill till oil is starting to come out of fill hole for transfer case too?
Just changed mine today, the redline fluid I put in the front/rear dif. the last time still looked like new after 45 to 50 thousand miles. Defantly recommended using it after that.
This is one of those maintenance items most people ignore or forget about.
Yep! Sequoia just hit 113k and I'm not sure its ever been done?😬
Ended up forgetting one of the drain plug metal gaskets... problems? Thoughts on this?
When do you change out rear diff fluid on a 208 2wd tundra ?
Walmart sells Valvoline synthetic 75-140 gear oil, Iv been using this as a upgrade for the 75- 90 oil, iv been using the 75-140 for years I dear say for over a decade with outstanding towing and sub 0 use, what are your thoughts on that??? good luck
Hello, a very nice video. Just one thing , I think a better explanation of how to level the truck with more detail.
Hey the edges of my doors keep getting scratched up on my 18 tundra do u have a solution for that ?
Is this the same process on a 2013 tundra 4wd?
Is there a reason why you used different fluids? Can one type of grade and fluid be used for tcase, front and rear diff?
I have 2005 Tundra 4x4 ownwer manual say.
Recommended oil viscosity:
Front
SAE 75W−90
Rear
Standard differential
Synthetic oil SAE 75W−140
Limited−slip differential
Above −18C (0F)
SAE 90
Below −18C (0F)
SAE 80W or 80W−90
so unless it's deferment on newer truck the viscosity should be 75w 140
but thanks a lot nice video easy locate.
That’s a different drivetrain
Why did you use royal purple in the rear and another brand in the Front diff and T-case?
Awesome
Hi my understanding rear diff is LSD so gear oil needs to be G5 to protect clutches Or not ? Thanks
What size spare tire you got under there? Can you fit a 35”?
I have a problem with the tundra when running the 4-wheel drive and the entire turn does not move the car
Hi! It the diff and transfer case are the same fluid?
So it appears I got 2 quarts of 75W MTF-3. Can I use that for the transfer case?
Great video, very straightforward. Any need for friction modifier for the rear diff? I'm using Amsoil SevereGear 75W-90. TY
What change intervals are you using?
What about posi traction additive?
In the transfer case what oil do you use?
I have a 2020 tundra Sr5 with TSS off road. Package 4x2. Anything different to add since it has LSD?
GREAT VIDEO NOT TO MUCH TALK..THANK'S MATE.
Just a thought-- you may want to use a breaker bar to loosen those stubborn bolts. I see you struggling in the video. Leverage will make a huge difference.
Is it the same process and fluids on a 2016?
if you have a tundra that has 160k miles and the diff fluid has never been changed, should you change it? Would be harmful to change it after so long?
My friend, and fellow Tundra owner ..... I would strongly encourage you to consult your owners manual as the oils you added are incorrect for the Tundra driveline. The OEM fluid is extremely unique, and what you used does not meet their specifications and requirements ...... please revisit your owners manual for proper Lubricants ...... just an FYI .....
How many quarts is needed to do front and back diff? 5 Qts?
While I hate the price I'd use the Toyota supplied 75W for the transfer case. Its kind to all the small expensive brass and bronze bits inside. Its not just about the weight, its the additives. Beats replacing a $5000 transfer case down the road to save $100 on fluid.
Have an easy way to change the alternator for 2016
Just sub. Save me alot of time.
What was the mileage when you preformed this?
Ravenol sells a gear oil kit.
I recommend using the proper 75w oil for the transfer case, not 75w-90
What’s the proper?
@@stelck712 75W-85 GL -5
I got a 400000kms on my new to me 2015 tundra what shud i be doing for maintenance
Simple with all the specs we need! How all videos should be!
I just sent this video to my buddy he has a 2019 Sequoia with 30k miles he’s at the dealer right this second freeking out Toyota just quoted him $1500 to do oil change trans fluid change diff and transfercase fluid change dam steelership
Great Vid! New Tundra owner, bought a 2015..one polite suggestion/request? Parts kit number and source for the washers and the hand pump
Hey Daniel, congrats on being a new Tundra owner. All the links are listed in the description below the video. Hope this helps.
Did someone put 200 ft lbs onto mine? Couldn't get my plugs to losen.
How often u need to do that
So does yours have a limited slip?
My transfer case calls for 1.5 liters or 1.6 quarts. People make sure to check your owners manual for your specific make and model. Ravenol for the win, easy pull tube built into bottle, no pumping!
What are you thoughts of the Ravenol?
@@andy.hanway No issues with transfer case since switching. Before I had trouble locking in and out of 4 low. Already another 15k miles since change about to do another fluid change soon with the Ravenol again. I run 4 wheel drive on the daily, so she's getting switched from 4 high to 2 wheel alot, and 4 low when needed. Front and rear diff are running Amsoil.
@@beyondthecutcreations9391 ok cool, thanks for the reply ! I was looking at Amsoil but they don't have the 75w-85 oil for the front and rear diff or 75w for transfer case. Ravenol has all the requirements and recommended oils for all. It's hard to find the correct oils for these newer Tundra without paying high cost of dealer oils.
@@andy.hanway www.amsoil.com/p/severe-gear-75w-90-svg/?code=SVGPK-EA is the oil alot of Tundra's are using for front and rear diff. Its what's in my Tundra TRD PRO. I ran my truck all summer in Arizona exploring the state, 100-117 degree temps. Now I'm in Missouri in 11 degree temps. I don't baby her and have noticed much cleaner engagement of my rear diff, seems alot more solid under heavy acceleration. The oem specs are to be taken with a grain of salt. Viscosity levels change with high and low temps. Amsoil meets and exceeds oem specs. Check the forums alot of the guys running Ravenol in transfer case also run the Amsoil if diff that im using.
How many miles do you change it ?
What mileage this has to be done at got 65,000 miles on mine
