Oil capacity and weight help

Looking to change oil in diffs, transfer case and trans. I have the 2.7L with a 5 speed trans. Can someone give me advice on what oil to use for each and how much? TIA

 

Anyone?

 

1998 model?

 

yes

 

Toyota Tacoma 2.7L L4 and 3.5L V6 Manual Transmission Fluid Change Capacity: 2.2-2.5 liters or 2.3-2.6 quarts.
About 3 quarts on the rear diff
front diff around 1.6
transfer case about 1.1-1.2
75W90 GL5

 

You can find a copy of the owners manual here for qty and type specs:

I run Mobil 1 full synthetic across the board. Doesn't mean it's the "best", it's just what I choose. Pick your favorite brand and let 'er rip.

 

75W90 for all of it?

 

Im going amsoil. I got the hook up on it.

 

Yes...i would put Synthetic in Also.

 

what’s the reason behind that?

 

Owners manual not available to you?

Here's where you can find a free, legit, PDF version. I'd not print it out (too much paper), but you can certainly save and read it.

Thank you

 

Well ... ive had a couple first gens,and when it gets a little cold the trans was stiff to shift with regular oil...i switched to synthetic and never had any more issues

 

i’ve always heard synthetic is more prone to finding leaks when you don’t have leaks with regular oil. Is that true or no?

 

Are you the original owner of the '98? If not, aren't you just assuming that it's got non-synthetic?

 

You're overthinking it- pretty low-risk to switch the diffs and transmission.

 

no I’m not the original owner

 

what about t case? Good to go there too?

 

Yup. Send it.
