    I'm getting some conflicting information regarding the drain and filler plug washers for a front diff on a 4 cyl. Gen 1.

    Can anyone confirm if part# 90430-A0003 is what I need for both? The parts descriptions say it is.

    I read a DYI post where 2 totally different washers (one brass) were needed. Any info is very much appreciated.

    I'm answering my own question so hopefully others wont have the confusion i had. When searching the toyota parts site for front, and rear diff, drain & fill plug washers. This part 9043018008 (changed to 90430 A0003) showed a fit for front diff drain and fill, and rear diff drain. I read a DIY rear diff oil change post on TW and member FLJB mentioned different washers. He is absolutely correct, I stopped in the dealership and confirmed it. The correct ones are #
    $14 12157-10010 Toyota Oil Drain Plug Crushable Steel Gaskets Set of 10 OEM 12157-10010
    12157-10010 they are steel and beveled on one side. Part # 90430-A0003 is aluminum and fits the transfer case fill & drain plugs. Thanks TW members for DIY post and other tips. Next time I'm going to start with TW DIY maintenance posts, so I'm headed in the right direction. Then hopefully I wont have to stop in the dealership, it takes a half gallon of bleach to get the bullshit smell off my clothes, every time I go in there.
