Torque:

370 N*m{3773 kgf*cm, 273 ft.*lbf}or less

Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.

Standard Preload (Starting Torque):

Bearing	Specified Condition
New	1.1 to 1.6 N*m (12 to 16 kgf*cm, 10 to 14 in.*lbf)
Reused	0.6 to 0.8 N*m (7 to 8 kgf*cm, 6 to 7 in.*lbf)

1. If the result is not as specified, adjust the preload (Toyota Fortuner RM0000010MS03BX_01_0010.html).
   

Using a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.

Standard Total Preload:

Bearing	Specified Condition
New	0.4 to 0.5 N*m (4 to 6 kgf*cm, 4 to 5 in.*lbf) + drive pinion preload
Reused	0.4 to 0.5 N*m (4 to 6 kgf*cm, 4 to 5 in.*lbf) + drive pinion preload

1. If the result is not as specified, adjust the preload.
   

Using a chisel and hammer, stake the nut.

Add differential oil so that the oil level is within 5 mm (0 to 0.196 in.) from the bottom lip of the differential filler plug hole.

NOTICE:

1. After changing the oil, drive the vehicle, and then check the oil level again.
   
2. Too much or too little oil will lead to differential problems.
   

Recommended viscosity:

Temperature	Viscosity
Above -18°C (0°F)	SAE 90
Below -18°C (0°F)	SAE 80W-90 or SAE 80W

Standard oil grade:

Item	Specified Condition
Front differential (4WD)	Hypoid gear oil API GL-4 or GL-5
Rear differential	Hypoid gear oil API GL-5

Standard front differential oil capacity:

1.40 to 1.50 liters (1.48 to 1.59 US qts., 1.23 to 1.31 Imp. qts.)

Standard rear differential oil capacity:

Item	Specified Condition
Standard	3.30 to 3.40 liters (3.49 to 3.59 US qts., 2.90 to 2.99 Imp. qts.)
w/ Differential lock	2.85 to 2.95 liters (3.01 to 3.12 US qts., 2.51 to 2.60 Imp. qts.)
Made for DANA	2.40 to 2.50 liters (2.54 to 2.64 US qts., 2.11 to 2.20 Imp. qts.)

Check for oil leakage when the oil level is low.

Install a new gasket and the differential filler plug.
