2016 2017 Tacoma SR5 4x4 4cyl differential oil question

Hello, I am trying to find the oil capacity for the front and rear differentials and transfer case, what viscosity and should it be synthetic or conventional? I also want to use some LiquiMoly gear oil additives if they're compatible. Thank you

 

Thanks. I don't seem to have the owners manual. I am the second owner, I bought the car from a VW dealer.

 

I see I did not think of that. Thank you

 

Try this. If the link does not work, just google Toyota Owners and follow the steps.

I found the information on this great thread as well! https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-diy-maintenance-quick-reference.406712/

 

My '17 SR manual states:

Differential:
Front: (4WD models) 1.6 qt. (1.5 L, 1.3 Imp.qt.)

Rear:
Vehicles with an automatic transmission
3.1 qt. (2.9 L, 2.6 Imp.qt.)*2
3.22 qt. (3.05 L, 2.68 Imp.qt.)*3
4.0 qt. (3.8 L, 3.3 Imp.qt.)*4
4.2 qt. (4.0 L, 3.5 Imp.qt.)*5
Vehicles with a manual transmission
4.0 qt. (3.8 L, 3.3 Imp.qt.)

Oil type and viscosity*1:
Toyota Genuine Differential Gear Oil
LT 75W-85 GL-5 or equivalent

Transfer (4WD models):
Oil capacity: 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 Imp.qt.)
Oil type*: Toyota Genuine Transfer gear oil LF or equivalent
Recommended oil viscosity: SAE 75W

For each *note: reference owners manual page 576.

 

And the engine oil change interval is 5,000 or 10,000 miles? Thanks

 

My manual recommends 10k changes but also says something like heavy or severe use to change every 5k

 

10k for regular light duty and 5k for severe. I do the 5k max on the SR just because -- and it's nowhere near severe duty requirements. Figure out what works for you and go for it. As long as you go the the OM as a minimum - you'll be OK.

 

Does anyone sample and test oil anymore? I'm curious what a lab would say about oil after 5 and 10,000 miles. I'll never run 10,000 miles between changes, but mine gets used harder than most - both hauling and pulling trailer.
