diff fluid change not required

Hi Everyone,

So I went in to my local dealer here in Canada to get some front and rear diff fluid to do the change myself and I end up walking out being told that my year 2011 Tacoma TRD sport Dblecab didnt require maintenance ( sealed units ).

I was taken back by this and I wanted to post and confirm just in case I didnt understand her correctly.

Thanks

 

Not true... your differentials require maintenance

 

I found your problem

 

lol

 

Glad mine are not sealed.

 

but serious though she printed out the maintenance menu for me and unless it falls under the maintenance service nothing else pops up.

 

lawls.... yeah... dont ever listen to the dealer.....

Changed my rear diff at 6k miles... yes 6k... shit was NASTY from all the break in. Ill do the rest around the 60k mark.

 

i bought my truck with a 137000 kms last July and I now have 155 on her.

 

once the lift goes on in the spring she is going to be dirty and wet and I want to make sure I do the correct thing and im not stranded in the back country due to maintenance.

 

Change it out.

Also look into the dif breather mod if you're ever into watery scenarios.
