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!!! RUclips creators like you save the DIY population collectively millions of dollars that would otherwise go to greedy stealerships.
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.
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?
@@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
Years later, this is still Super helpful! Thank you. Make sure you check your owner's manual for amount of fluid on the rear diff - it was 4.9 quarts for my version of this truck. The transfer and front differentials are the same fluid amount for all submodels.
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!

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.
Another shoutout for the dustpan trick--that's genius. Also a very good tip for first timers to make sure you can loosen the fill plugs before the drain plugs. Ask me how I know.
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.

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...
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Just an FYI, I changed the rear end Diff on my 2006 Tundra to synthetic gear lube WITH the additive for limited slip and it caused huge problems. The perfectly functioning rear end started slipping and making noises. I replaced the synthetic with conventional read end fluid and the problem went away.
Jeff Pittel ....Is it safe to say you don’t have a LSD and that’s why you had the problem? The manual indicates that a standard differential can use synthetic gear oil with no additives, however a LSD has to use the gear oil formulated and labeled LSD. I found that out by calling the Toyota dealer and giving them my VIN #.
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 .....
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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
You're using the wrong fluid for the transfer case it calls for LF 75w read the owner's manual you have to get that from Toyota not the dealership but from Japan dealership does the same thing you do wrong the fluid comes in a can with old school writing on it otherwise great video I have a Lexus GX 460 I even call Amsoil I went on their website they say they don't have fluid for the center differential because it's a special mixture very expensive fluid
Ralph the dealer can order it. I did mine last year but at 100k. I never towed. It’s pricey and uncommon. It was in Japanese/English(the bottle) and if I remember correctly my mechanic friend ordered through Lexus locally because they could get it. I never deviate from brand fluids for differentials or transmission fluid. Obviously front wheel drive need not apply for differentials fluid. We only got 95% of the stuff out though. Yes with pump.
Few tips make sure the fluid is hot usually 10-15 miles on the highway also 07-current tundra's don't have a true lsd diff it uses the brakes to simulate a lsd so no additives are needed
I was looking at videos to see if for some reason the Tundra requires something special because how much my stealership quoted me. They quoted $450 for it... I about fainted. I have always done my own services and only take the Tundra for oil changes as it is free at the dealership. But they are in some good stuff charging that much. Lol.
Did you use the same 75w-90 diff fluid for your transfer case? Did it have the limited slip addative in it? I have a 2014 I'm looking to do both my diffs and transfer case. Great video, you did a great job.

I was looking at videos to see if for some reason the Tundra requires something special because how much my stealership quoted me. They quoted $450 for it... I about fainted. I have always done my own services and only take the Tundra for oil changes as it is free at the dealership. But they are in some good stuff charging that much. Lol.
Once done how many miles should I go before doing this process again ? Thanks
I personally do it ever 15k. I hope this helps. 🤘🏻
Why did you use royal purple in the rear and another brand in the Front diff and T-case?
Really thorough video. 👍🇺🇸👍
Thanks man. I hope this helped you out. 🤘🏻
Can you fill the front diff from up in the engine compartment with a tube? I'm using my son for help
Did someone put 200 ft lbs onto mine? Couldn't get my plugs to losen.
Hi! It the diff and transfer case are the same fluid?
Isn't the rear diff a limited slip ? Isn't there a additive required ?
+Jordon Cloutier yea, I use royal purple now, which has the additive.
Could someone elaborate on this?
Did you use the same 75w-90 diff fluid for your transfer case? Did it have the limited slip addative in it? I have a 2014 I'm looking to do both my diffs and transfer case. Great video, you did a great job.
Use 75W only. Not 75w-90
@@songyikim7479 I found some 75w that I ended up going with.
do you just fill till oil is starting to come out of fill hole for transfer case too?
I have 2016 4x4 limited crew max tundra
With 31k miles, when do you usually do the differential oil changes? Let me know please thanks!!!
+Conrad 29 wouldn’t hurt to check it and do it now.
Great video! How many qts did you end up using for the rear, front and transfer case?
Did you actually watch the video? He very clearly says the amounts on each item...
I have a 2020 tundra Sr5 with TSS off road. Package 4x2. Anything different to add since it has LSD?
Did you put in 3.8 or around 3.3 i did mine and it dribbled out but i put back about 3.3
Subscribed !
So it appears I got 2 quarts of 75W MTF-3. Can I use that for the transfer case?
Is there a reason why you used different fluids? Can one type of grade and fluid be used for tcase, front and rear diff?
Great video
Oakley Two Face glasses?
Do you know what the recommendation is for the mileage on changing these fluids?
I do it every 15k.
@@Tundra4x4Club 15k????? What a waste of money lol. It’s not motor oil or transmission fluid!
Do it every 50k 15 k is ridiculous
When do you change out rear diff fluid on a 208 2wd tundra ?
Why does the washer kit come with 12 washers? Is it for 2 fluid changes? Thanks for the video
+Hans Idso it’s for multiple Toyota vehicles but only select few are needed for the Tundra. Hope this helps.
Tundra4x4. Club, Ok thanks for the info bud. Keep up the videos🙏 just subbed
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?
Is it the same process and fluids on a 2016?
Thanks for the vid bubba
