star Top Answer
Differential oil is essential to lubricating the driveshaft and wheel axles in a vehicle. The 2001 Toyota Tacoma a uses a gear oil with a viscosity of 80W-90 and 75W-90. The rear differential is equipped with 5.5 pints of 80W-90 and the front uses 2.5 pints of 75W-90. The differential casing can be found under the truck. The cover is bolted on and the plug can be opened using a 3/8" drive and 24 mm socket. Examine the plug for metal shavings from the gears. It's installed with a magnet. A clean plug is a good sign gears aren't worn down. A gear oil change should bee scheduled every 15,000 miles in the Tacoma, according to the manufacturer. Costs average $180-$250 in parts and professional labor.
