Quick question real time

[stlcruiser]

Greetings:

Don't have my manual with me. How much gear oil does transfer case take on a drain and fill? Need to pick some up on my way home.

Thanks,

not sure but it's in the owners manual.

T-case 1.8, Front diff 2.9, Rear diff 3.4


copied from a cruiserdrew post. In quarts.

Is it safe to just fill it up until it starts dripping back out the fill plug hole?

 

[cruiserdan]

That is exactly how it's done.

 

[Grench]

Whew. I didn't bother to measure.

One thing I noticed on my 4Runner when I did this a few months ago was that it started leaking out the fill hole before I'd put in the required amount. Presumably because of how slowly the gear oil gets into the nooks and crannies? I've been driving it since and havent re-checked it . I'm sure it's OK

 

[cruiserdan]

If it barfed out the top, it was full.

The fill spec may be for a completely dry new assembly. I've also noted I cannot get the full amount in my Cruisers over the years and attributed it to the half pint or so that's in the nooks and crannies, clinging to gearsets, etc. Once it comes out, that's full.
