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

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!

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.

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.

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…

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.

How do clean the pump after each use to prevent oil contamination

@austimages 3 жыл бұрын

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.

@@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.

@@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!

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.

@austimages 5 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

@austimages 5 жыл бұрын

According to the Toyota service data sheet, the correct torque for the front diff drain plug is 39Nm. See pic: ibb.co/1qVnmSR

@austimages 5 жыл бұрын

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.
