On-Vehicle Inspection [12/2019 - ]: Procedure
- INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL OIL (for Dynamic Torque Control AWD)
- Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the rear differential filler plug and gasket.
- Check that the oil level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the rear differential filler plug opening.
*a 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) - If there is not enough oil, inspect for oil leaks and fill the rear differential carrier assembly with Toyota genuine differential gear oil LX.NOTE:
- Add the differential oil in small quantities every few minutes.
- Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.
- Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install a new gasket and the rear differential filler plug.
Torque: 39 N.m (398 kgf/cm, 29 ft.lbf)
NOTE:After changing the oil, drive the vehicle and then check the oil level again.
