Check section 6 of the owner's manual. Front diff, 1.5 qt...rear diff, 4 qt...trans case, 2 qt. Get 8 quarts.Great video and I'll be doing this soon too.
Anyone have a run down on the various capacities of the diffs/tranxfer case?
I've been using a hand operated pump that screws into a gallon jug...great for arm strength but takes forever. I found this 1745 PowerFill Pro 2 Gallon Tank takes around 2 minutes to fill the front diff and trans case. You'll need a locking schrader valve for the air hose. I bought a 100 psi gage for mine (oem is 30 psi) and run it at 50 psi based on advice from a Motive Products engineer. It's definitely usable on the rear diff, but even faster to stick a piece of tubing over the plastic bottle nozzle and squeeze it in.
Sealing washers are replaced with new. I updated the drain plugs to (iirc) Tundra parts with longer magnets. Minor upgrade but cheap. Drain plugs have their own thread Transfer case drainplug musings .
Allow time to remove the umpteen heat shields around the trans case. And while you're "in there" may as well lube the driveshafts.
