Toyota Tundra Rear Differential Fluid Change

How to change oil in rear differential on 2007 Toyota Tundra 2WD

[@charlespratt8663]

I use German torque specs. Gooten Tight.

[@bblod4896]

Old but still funny.

[@charlesdesmond6510]

Stop that

[@richardstone5241]

Overfilling is a good way to foam your oil and blow your seal's! DON'T OVERFILL YOUR DIFF'S!!!

[@bblod4896]

Rear differential oil, an odor you can never forget.

[@stevep5736]

I’m willing to bet that’s the original fluid.

[@mikewaite3692]

Not a surprise that a previous owner who installed plenty of stupid bling junk like plastic chrome taillight trim, goofy race car gas filler door and junk aftermarket stereo couldn't be bothered to do basic maintenance on this awesome Toyota Tundra with the potential to go 1M miles.... crazy! Thanks , Peter!

[@dane5896]

The truck looks great👍, with the correct wheels.

[@KendrasEdge757]

Probably the first time that’s ever been done! I did my 2021 4Runner’s front/rear diff and transfer case at 42k miles. I’m at 51k+ now and having my transmission fluid done at the end of the month. Had my oil done again this morning. I can’t do my tranny myself yet as I don’t have a scanner to take temp of the fluid and don’t feel right jumping obdII pins. lol good stuff Petr! God bless~

Nasty black, it is

Great video, thanks Peter. Looking forward to your upcoming video about tranmission oil.

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Thank you Peter. Time for my kraut break. Helpful video. Thank you.

[@paulodisano502]

Great job and video, Peter. As always, thank you my friend and cheers. Beautiful truck.🇨🇦🇺🇸👍

The oil level leads me to believe that this was filled the vehicle on the ground, with the suspension under pressure. This could explain why oil would drain from the fill/level port when the suspension sags and rotates the differential when on the lift. My LX470 has the AHC, so I perform this service in my driveway with the suspension set to high. I did this after I bought the vehicle and redid ALL my fluids, and after crossing high water in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian when I went down to Fort Myers to help my mom and aunt there.

[@joedominick7517]

Thanks Petr, another great example of Toyota Maintenance!

[@bigdaddymak1439]

I'm really happy you didn't poop your pants 😂😂 The Tundra says she's not done being in the spotlight!! She needs a name 🤔🤔

[@bikerevolutiontv]

I took my breather off and replaced with hose and filter, then plumbed it into back cabin on fj cruiser. It was closed with dirt but still made the twist. Don't tryst the twist. Take out and blow to test it

[@toma5153]

Good idea. I replaced the axle vent when I changed my diff fluid. P/N 90930-A3001. Drain gasket is 12157-10010. But.....YMMV.

[@MarzNet256]

Nice! I do a 30k mile interval drain and fill on rear differential, transfer case, and automatic transmission. 2006 Matrix 4WD with 223k.

[@TheJmich2001]

They made it so simple! I like to shoot some shop air in the fill hole while it is draining.

[@sonofliberty92]

You Californians are lucky. 07 with not a lick of rust.

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks Peter, nice video.

[@FloridaSunMitochondria]

Your videos are the best! Would love to see more videos on 4Runners!!

[@billsimpson604]

Lazy mechanics tighten the plugs with an impact wrench. I had to change a leaking outer oil seal on my 2000 Expedition. I forgot to remove the fill plug first, and was just barely able to loosen the filler plug using a piece of pipe on the wrench. The thread was tapered pipe, so they must have figured it could come loose if it wasn't super tight. That synthetic gear oil was expensive. But at least it didn't stink like the natural stuff made from crude oil which smells like sulfur. On the differentials without a drain plug, where you have to remove the entire back to change the oil, or remove the axles to change the oil seals, and you can't get the fill plug out, you can put the correct amount of gear oil inside cheap plastic bags and seal them inside the differential. The gears will chew the thin plastic bags up.

[@williameddy7217]

Great Video, Peter. God Bless

[@ZacCostilla]

I have a ‘05 LX470, and all the 100-series cruisers and equivalent LX models use the same differentials.

[@wolfeadventures]

10:54 😂😂 now that’s funny.

[@seanh2390]

great video

[@lyleschmidt3078]

There is an advantage to being able to remove rear diff cover. You can inspect the innards!!

[@Nick41622]

Very easy to get to.👍

[@jamesburroughs7248]

Great video comrade can u do one on throttle body cleaning

[@thomasmeadows256]

[@Nick41622]

Also if you don't change the differential oil it will chew up the oil seals, as dirty oil causes friction.

[@koopa816mj1]

340111 Miles on my 2000 tundra. Maybe I should change that old fluid. My front diff is all new cuz I didn't know moog ball joints were terrible. Took 1 yr to fail like the og

[@poohbear4130]

Purrr..

[@gerrypratt9352]

Hi, great vidéos! My 2015 Rav4 diff. press fit air breather is stick in the hole. I can't. remove it. How to do this?

[@gerrypratt9352]

Rear diff

[@abitofeverything1234]

Is it similar to Tacoma 3rd gen.

[@chrisc308]

How often do you (or you all reading this) recommend doing this service? I'm about 30k miles from the last time I did it on my 07 5.7L 2WD Double Cab

[@Longer682]

Hello, I would like to ask you, is there a catalyst converter in the Toyota 4runner manifold converter? Because my car check code 420, I changed to a new catalyst, but the engine lights, tracoff, 4lo lights will still turn on. And I didn't see the catalyst converter in the tube. It was empty. So may I ask you if there is a catalyst in the tube? Why is mine empty?

[@smadas4192]

You don't get a pickup truck for a 5 1/2 foot bed!

[@TRUSTMYPLAN315]

Is it the same for a 2018 Sequoia?

[@pqtpat7734]

My breather valve is stuck. I have fluid filmed annual as I am in NE OHIO. My 4x4 is perfect on 2010 5.7, should I just not worry about it?

[@efil4kizum]

Change the breather valve so it vents proper

[@bubba4072]

It's easy to change and only around $10. That inexpensive part can cause expensive damage.

[@nickstosz6730]

On a 4x4 are the filler spots also levels on the front diff and transfer case?

[@Me-zo8yc]

Yep

[@caseyjames5412]

How often would you suggest replacing rear diff oil for Toyota Trucks? More specifically a 2013 4Runner.

[@hokie9910]

I do all of my Toyota and Lexus vehicles at every 75k miles for transmission, diffs, transfer case, coolant with very good results.

[@TedEischeid1960]

Your owners manual says every 30,000 miles. Don’t depend on internet opinions. Your maintenance guide there has everything you need to properly maintain your fifth gen 4Runner.

[@hokie9910]

@@TedEischeid1960 I just looked in my owners manuals of our newer Toyota and Lexus products I did not see that information anywhere.

@@hokie9910 it’s usually a separate booklet title “maintenance guide” and is included in the owners manual materials. You can also download it from Toyota if you register your vehicle with their “Toyota Owners” group.

Would this be basically the same for my 2010 V6 3.5L Toyota Highlander AWD Base?

For the rear diff yeah but you also have front diff and transfer case

Avoid synthetic if truck has a LSD because it will make the clutch plates bang and chatter.

This rear diff sservice costs in excess of 100$ some places over 200$

Petr, Did you say GMC Yukon? 🤢🤢🤢

[@robertblacksmith4355]

My 95' GMC has a "Limited Slip Differential" every 50,000lkm dif oil gets changed!
