hey all, just picked up an 81 and it's been enjoyable so far, but i'm still new to toyotas. the truck sat for almost 2 years so i want to get all the fluids changed out before i take her on her maiden voyage out a few hours and off-road. i want to get the trans/t-case as well as diff oils changed out. what type of oil is recommended for the diffs, trans and t-case? thanks!

90weight in all of it. might want to grease all the u joints too.

 

75w-90 GL5 gear lube in the transmission and transfer case, 80w-90 GL5 hypoid gear oil in the differentials is what my manual says.

 

thanks guys!

one last question, what is the capacity of each?

My '85 Owner's Manual has the following capacities:

I just use 80-90Wt. Just fill it till it spews then close her up.

 

perfect, looks like ~11 quarts will do it.


i'm all for filling it up til it pukes, i just don't want to run out of oil and have to drive to the parts house with a half filled tranny.
