Transfer case lube.

That is assuming I can get every drop of it into the transfer case plus need to check with a litle overflow to be sure. Some loss will be there in any kind of fluid transfer device I will be using.

funnel with a long hose fed through the rear wheel well. Let gravity do the work. I dont bother with pumps anymore.

that's not the same exact one i use. I put mine together from left over parts from the hardware store.

I did the tcase fluid change with one can of Toyota liquid gold. I pumped it out and even though I couldn’t get every last drop out of the can the tcase was a little overfilled and some drizzled out. Next time I’ll try the funnel/tube/gravity technique.

i use the same setup for ATF changes too.. in fact i use the same hose and funnel! I know i know im mixing fluids. I do try my best to push a paper towel through the hose to clean out residual fluids.

I gave up on those expensive fluid pumps. I end up wasting so much good fluid

I was gonna ask you about that! I recently changed my ATF and have been hanging the hose to let all the fluid drain out.

Once I used a can of Toyota Gear Oil (the good stuff in the old tin can!) and spilled a few drops on the shop floor, I swear I saw the little Japanese fairies cry out in shame as they quickly died...

Though, the crack in the shop floor where it spilled looks like a gold vein now...

Interesting.I thought about this as well. Let me see if I have any pipes and funnels laying around. Last time I did this on my 07 4Runner, it was painful to pump that thick oil in.

I do have a crack in my garage and might use some leftovers for it.

I used this:
Red Line Synthetic Oil. MT-LV 70W/75W GL-4 Gear Oil

Noticed no change in shifting afterward so seems to be fine to use.
It lists the Toyota spec on the website. This is likely as close are you can get if going aftermarket.
