I've always changed my own oil but it's time to do the Diff's and TC.

Can anyone tell me what type of oil's i need for the front and rear diffs as well as the TC and how much is needed?

Thanks broskis :)

Hey Rez, for the TC make a dipstick of sorts from a wire coat hanger. I made marks for .98" to 1.38" and painted the end of it flat black. The fluid is really clear, so it's hard to get a read. The TC is pretty picky on the level of the fluid!

Just a thought for you and others doing your own services. I say this as I see you have a 2010 and it is probably under warranty.

Make sure you keep the receipts for all fluids purchased, and keep a log of when it was performed. If you don't, some dealers may try to tell you to take a hike if you ever need warranty work. They may very well ask you for proof that all fluid changes were performed as indicated in the owners booklet.

I agree with (TEDA) on that because the dealerships are always trying to screw you over one way or another. Always keep your recipts to prove anything and dont fall for their little tricks.
