3rd Gen DIY maintenance quick reference

I noticed the Doc ID was missing for the A/T fluid replacement: RM000004LXE00TX. It's buried in the manual as well so thought that might be helpful. Other search terms are: "AC60F AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID: REPLACEMENT". I also attached the specific pages for that in case anyone didn't have/want the full manual.

 

Anyone have an idea on how often the fuel filter needs replacement. I looked through the Maintenance Guide an there was no mention of it. Only inspection of the fuel lines.

 

Looks like it is part of the fuel pump. I imagine it lasts the life of the pump

 

OK thanks.

 

Thank you , sir! The OP has been updated with the Doc ID.

 

Is the front/rear differential oil the same as the transfer case oil?
Can I use this for all 3? Or are the front/rear differential oil different from transfer case?

I use the same amzoil in the front rear and transfer case

 

75W90?

and the oil is just oil? or is there difference of the differential oil and transfer case oil..

 

Yes 75w90 it's gear oil

 

Redline makes transfer case oil that meets Toyota spec: Redline MT-LV GL-4 Gear Oil--how much of a difference it makes--im not 100% certain but since its spec thats what I used. I used amzoil 75-90 for the front and rear diffts in the bag that shotgunbill420 posted. And i used Redline MT-90 in the Manual trans fluid. Works like a charm!

 

I mentioned amzoil not redline

 

Oops I meant amzoil, corrected

 

Old-ish thread I know. This is just for a bit of fun...
Both you and @Tacowin1013 spelled it with a "z".
Al Amatuzio created Amsoil. He initially spelled it with the "z" cuz - his name. Penzoil sued him and he had to change it to an "s".
Goofy, huh? Especially since Penzoil didn't even have a synthetic then (1972) to confuse it with.

So you both would have been correct if this was 1972.

 

I have a question that may seem strange, but, what do you do with the cans of fluid from Toyota? I am looking to buy these from the dealer for my service fluid changes, but are these really just a can you just open?

 

like the TC oil? just open and use a hand pump or something like that is what i've always done

 

Thanks. I’ve not used a can of oil since the late 70’s. LOL.

 

Great info!

I remember it being spelled correctly with a Z . I do my research on companies to ensure my money isn't being wasted lol. But thank you for the history lesson , I never knew.

 

Can you give me permission for getting access to this. Google says I need to get permission.
