THE BIG E Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 well on the weekend i took the tundra to get an oil change(only $15) and the tech tells me that my differental oil needs to changed, so i ask the guy the truck only has 26,000 miles i think it is to soon to changed it, well the tech tells me that on the toyota tundra the diff oil needs to be changed every 15,000 miles. So i was woundering how often do you guy change your diff oil???, BTW the truck is a 2007 tundra with the 5.7 Quote

TheAlaskan Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Read your owners manual, it will have the change intervals in it. Quote
THE BIG E Posted December 15, 2010 Author Posted December 15, 2010 Read your owners manual, it will have the change intervals in it. The owners manual only says the capacity not the intervals for it Quote
EY3BA11 Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 had the armada done at 50k service last few trucks i even forgot about that stuff... i think brandons powerstroke is going on probably 100k miles on the same diff oil.. hes a slacker when it comes to those kinda things lol. My s-10 was self changing.. lol hit a rock peel back the tin foil cover and diff oil just ooozes out.. realize the problem new diff cover and fluid fill.. lol Quote
ltr450rider Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 I just did my S-10 at 100,000. I did the Tranny service as well to keep it in warranty since it got rebuilt last year. Quote

dunefreak Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 If you tow with it, I'd change it every 15,000 miles. Cheap insurance, especially with a 1/2 ton. Those rear ends are small and go through alot of abuse when towing a toyhauler! Quote

dunefreak Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Well even not towing, I'd change it at least every 30K, even if you run the fancy synthetic oil. Quote
