30K Service

I just did my 15k the other day, it did say to change front and rear diff for extreme duty or whatever they call it, maybe by 30k it falls under the regular section.

 

Maybe..I'll have to check again tomorrow.

 

I just had that book out the other day but did not look past the 15k so I need to look at it again tomorrow too.

 

I'm still learning[/QUOTE]

I think we all are. That's why we come here... and for the entertainment. I'm just being a clown.

 

I just checked my maintenance log...for 30,000 miles it says to replace the transfer case oil only if driving down dirty/dusty roads or towing.

It says to only replace diff fluid when if you tow, drive with a car top carrier, or heavy vehicle loading.

 

Thanks for reminding me. I need to schedule an appointment and have this done.

 

Does anybody know how much oil you need for each part and cost of it?
Here is a link that may help: http://www.amsoil.com/mygarage/vehiclelookup.aspx?url2=2016+TOYOTA+TACOMA+B

 

To do front and rear diff plus the transfer case you'll need 6 quarts.

 

That link is for a 3rd Gen 2016

This is a 2nd Gen forum - 2005-2015

 

You know there are buttons you can click

i'm not sure this is correct based on information provided below

Differential, Base With RWD Rear..........7.4 pints
Differential, Front..........3.2 pints
Differential, Prerunner Rear..........6.3 pints
Differential, 4WD Rear..........6.3 pints
Transfer Case, VF2BM..........2.1 pints

 

Unless I figured it wrong I came up w/5.8 Qts

I did my 2014 TRD OR @ 30K and I used just shy of 6 Qts

 

Experience counts more than things on internet, ams oil is probably wrong - sorry for confusion

 

Yep, but in your post above, you clicked a 3rd Gen button. Could be confusing for novices.

Just in case you go offroad, something to consider

Where do you guys order parts from?

 

I think i am going to sign up for the extended toyotacare that takes the two year to four year. It includes the 30K maint. $299..

 

Be sure to check your oil level before leaving the dealership. It might help prevent another "Dealer Forgot To Put Oil In My Engine" thread.
