*STICKY* General Servicing Info

[zolton]

Hello, i just put 2.8 quarts of bel ray oil in my rear diff. 140 body.
Is that the correct body?

Check the PDF technical info on the rough trax site for lubricant details.

I've got my '94 4Runner Owners Manual in front of me. Now I have the incorrect dipstick in my motor so I change my oil strictly by the book. It says:

1KZ-T with filter 7.1L
1KZ-T without filter 6.4L

This is a big difference to the:

1KZ-T Engine oil.........7L (8L inc filter)

in the above sticky.

Can anybody help clarify this for me?

Hello there I have the same motor in a 1997 surf. I had the oil changed at a stand once and they said it took 6.5 liters without the filter being replaced. I usually do it myself and with the filter it seems to take 8 liters.

with regards to the cv boot guide if u havent got enough room to get the shaft out just undo the front diff mount and jack the diff up about a quarter of an inch then there is loads of room to get it in and out.

On a 3rd Gen should I be changing the oil in the front diff? No service guide or manual covers it. If so how is it done please?
Don't forget when topping up the auto box to check the level while the engines running. Like it says on page 1, it takes about 4.5 litres NOT 2.2 as published elsewhere and in various manuals and specifications!
