  2. ADD TRANSFER OIL 
    1. Using a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and 10 x 12 mm long offset wrench, remove the transfer filler plug and gasket from the transfer assembly.
    2. Add transfer oil.

      Oil Type

      Toyota genuine differential gear oil LX

      Standard Capacity (for Reference)

      0.39 liters (0.41 US qts, 0.34 Imp. qts)

      NOTE:

      Using transfer oil other than the specified oil may cause abnormal noise or vibration, or damage the transfer of the vehicle.

    3. Pour transfer oil so that the oil level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.197 in.) from the bottom lip of the transfer filler plug hole.
