Step-by-step change of front & rear differential oils and transfer case oil in a Toyota LandCruiser 200, including a list of suitable oil grades and gasket part numbers. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Thanks for doing all these videos. Im looking at buying a 200 series and would like to do all my servicing and this give me a lot of confidence that I can! Cheers
Hi just wanted to leave a feedback. One of the club members suggested your site when I posted a doubt on my 200 series. After watching your and Jaffa adventures videos, I now started taking care of my Cruiser myself. Your videos and website helped me to order parts easily. Our Cruisers here don’t get as dirty as yours but following Australian standards of maintenance in the UK will add a decade or two more it’s life. Thanks for all the knowledge sharing and inspiration to maintain our Cruisers
Love your videos Jamie, very informative and detailed. Thanks for your effort!
Very good info and a nice job of shooting the video making things much easier.
Great video Jamie. Just did the same service on my 120 series Prado, but with the old hand pump in a 1L bottle. I think one of those 12V oil transfer pumps is on the shopping list now!
They are the best thing since sliced bread! ebay.to/2HhLUp1
Excellent video, very informative, thank you.
Good stuff mate thanks for sharing. Cheers Steve
thanks for the great video. Very useful. Love it.
Good video, Great car, AMAZING OIL!!!
انت رائع جدا استفدت من كثيرا شكرا لك من السعودية 🇸🇦
The transfer pump's a good idea, some folks that haven't done this before underestimate just how slowly thick gear oil will flow, especially through those tubes they come with.
The material a crush washer is made from really doesn't matter at all, as long as it will crush and conform to size without cracking or flexing it'll work and you can usually sand them back down or drill out a coin if you haven't got the time to go to the parts store. I wouldn't be surprised if an o-ring might work.
Nice vid.
I reused the same washers, no leaks.
Awesome vid 👌
Job well done, thank you 👍
So informative, bless you
Good work ❤
Great vid
I wonder what is the reason for 6 people to dislike this fantastic video?
Hi. I recently did mine and while I was under the rear I noticed due to my lift how much the rear diff pinion angle had changed in relation to the pinion on the transfer case. I ended up changing the upper trailing arms to superior engineering adjustable and was easily able to restore the pinion angle back to Toyota spec +/- 1°. Mine was 4° delta with a 2” lift. The rear diff ended up taking a further 600mls after the adjustment. Something to consider.
What harm can be done when using 75w90 oil for the diff instead of 75w85? Coz other than the viscosity,it’s basically the same oil for the transfer case too right? I have a 120 prado btw.
Greeting
Do you have a dedicated video for driveshaft greasing for LC200?
If yes, could you please share with me the link.
If no ! How frequent should be greased? and How to apply grease for the middle one? It is too tidy!?
Thanks

Very useful
In the USA, the specification for the transfer case gear oil is Toyota Genuine Transfer Gear Oil LF 75W. Note that it's a straight weight oil and not 75W-90. I don't know if that really makes a difference. I wouldn't imagine that Toyota is making different transfer cases for Australia and the USA. The 75W gear oil is very hard to find, but I found some made by a company called Ravenol. It specifically lists Toyota's part number as equivalent. I purchased it and the 75W-85 gear oil required for the differentials from blauparts.com.
Toyota dealer have 2 GL5 oils for trasfer case on sale : one is “ differential gear oil “ and the other is “ slip differential gear oil “ both oem both gl5 , wich one should I use for my 200 series ?
Thank you!
I ran 80W-90 GL-5 in all my differentials and transfer case. What is you opinion?
Thank u💐
Nice video once again Jamie, thanks a lot
Can you please show us also how can you get your engine bay so clean? It looks like you've just picked her up from the dealer, nice job!
Nothing fancy. Just some CT18 and careful use of a pressure washer.
Great video as always. Unfortunately, some of us are crawling around on the ground without the use of jacks, ramps, or a proper lift. Then there’s the front diff drain plug isn’t coming out no matter what. I’m know I’m not the first to question Toyota’s requirement of the 10mm allen instead of a 24mm socket like everywhere else nor am I the first to have this problem. I worked around it by pumping out through the fill hole, but will be consumed by this stuck plug until it is resolved…
Just on a diff related subject , l was wondering if you have looked into lockers? , lam pretty sure you would have and would be interested in your opinion on which way you would go , l like the tjm locker but they only do rear , arb do both but the o ring design concerns me that it may fail , l do like arb gear and normally would go that way .. cheers Mark.
I have always run ARB lockers in the past. Had them on three previous vehicles. Only ever had one failure, which was a copper air line that split inside the diff. I’m seriously considering them shortly as I’d like to have them for an upcoming trip. But both or nothing, so TJM is out. I’ll have a closer look at the e-locker, but at this stage probably going with ARB.
Does australian LC200 sahara has lsd?
I've changed mine at 30K Km and in the rear dif it was very, very dirty and some metal debris . The front was very dirty also but without debris. The transfer gear oil was clean .
How do clean the pump after each use to prevent oil contamination
I remove the hoses and flush them with a bit of petrol. For the pump itself, I just let it drain and before each use, just run a small amount of the new oil (just a few ml) to waste before filling the diff/transfer etc.
Looks like u have a nasty cut on ur hand that is healing well, how did that happen?
Your old diff oil looked new! How is it so clean? Mine always comes out very dark almost like used engine oil.
Shouldn't really get too contaminated unless you have issues with the breather tubes or a seal somewhere
Great informative video - Subscribed!
Can you advise the brand of the 12v transfer pump?
No, just a no-name one. I think they are all the same give or take. Get one that includes the hoses and fittings.www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_odkw=12v+oil+transfer+pump&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.X12v+100w+oil+transfer+pump.TRS0&_nkw=12v+100w+oil+transfer+pump&_sacat=0&mkcid=1&mkrid=705-53470-19255-0&siteid=15&customid=link&campid=5337996533&toolid=20001&mkevt=1
@@austimages Jamie thanks - I did manage to purchase the same oil transfer pump on eBay.
I did find the pump tended to inject a huge amount of air causing very slow fill of the rear diff.
I found using the smaller diameter supplied hose in the outlet completely solved the problem - - no air and rapid oil transfer.
I have just finished both diffs and transfer case - the hardest part was re-fitting the cage that protects the transfer case.
@ 70k All oils came out still clean - replaced with a Penrite GL5 as recommended.
Next the auto transmission! Thanks for your inspirational videos!
Hi do u have to clean the 12v pump before transferring a different spect oil,
Not between different grades of the same oil. If switching between different types of oil (eg engine to gearbox), then just pump the first second of oil into a waste container.
@@austimages I've just purchased the same pump will get my n80 hilux oil service soon thank for information
Is this the same procedure for the gas LC200?
Yes, same for both versions.
Dear I need your advice.
I got my LC200 brand new in 2008 and now it has 450k miles. No issue at all, but all this years I only change transmission and engine oil. But never done front/rear diff and transfer case. Should I change it after all these years or just keep it till it fails??
Change it!
@@austimages
I want to, but some say it will shock the gears and cause troubles?? I'm really not sure about it and I'm not expert but I love my car and happy with it for 12 years now.
@@ej254 Shock the gears??!! Change it.
Mine too, they say rarely will be ok but maybe you will get a noisy sound! Is that true or I go ahead and change it?
If what you're saying is true, I'm absolutely amazed how well engineered these trucks are that you lasted 450,000 miles without changing the diff and transfer case oils
what kind of pump is that?
ebay.to/2HhLUp1
Does it matter which way the crush washers go on? Are they directional?
They can go either way
@@austimages Thank you!

Where do you find the Torque Specs?
I have a workshop manual
@@austimages Where can I buy the workshop manual? I have a 2009 VX Diesel model. Thanks enjoy your videos.
@@boymeetsbush8232 You can buy online access from Toyota. But it's expensive. Occasionally, you can find them online until Toyota have them taken down!
💪🌹
Also a warning to people attempting this, your front differential drain plug can easily be stripped.
Yes, very important to use the torque wrench given the alloy diff casing.
@@austimages You are right, but what I meant was that the plug itself has this hex/allen plug that can be rounded because of the previous person over torquing it or it being seized. It was a P ITA to remove mine and had to weld a bolt to it. It hasn't been changed since factory 12 years ago and it was rust welded.
@@and7976 Ahh, OK. Haven't come across that. Maybe the previous person used an imperial hex wrench that was 'close enough', rather than the correct metric version. They can be very fussy for the correct size.
Ga day mate
That oil that is draining is still like brand new. There is nothing wrong with that oil and not worth changing it. Is this setup? Or have you flushed it so It's still like new....
No, that's how it looks after 40,000km. Diff and transfer oil shouldn't really get very dirty, but there are still some contaminants in there. The recommended change interval for these oils is every 40,000km, so that's when I change them.
The 2012 uses 75w LF for the transfer case .
That's what Toyota call their own branded oil (LF). But it's just a 75w90 GL-5 oil.
Australian Images I used 75w90 but the trans case made a shudder when sharp u turn, I ended up using the factory LF .
slim82S anyone else have any issues running 75w90 in the t case?
Its very helpful video BUT there is a wrong torque spec on the front differential drain plug and it must be torque to 65 N.m not 39 N.m and you must be torque the filler plug on front diff to 39 N.m . Good Luck
According to the Toyota service data sheet, the correct torque for the front diff drain plug is 39Nm. See pic: ibb.co/1qVnmSR
And from the workshop manual too: ibb.co/Dpt0KZz . Perhaps you have the specs from a previous model, or looking at some of the other bolts for the front diff? There are a few of the case assembly bolts that are torqued to 65Nm.
You torque it. Not tension it.
same same lol. tension it to a specific torque measurement in Nm.. dont be that weird guy lol
