Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Land Cruiser 60, J6 (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity differs between engine variants, with the 3.4 D (BJ6) and 4.0 D (HJ6) both holding 4.9 liters, while the 4.2 petrol (FJ6) holds 3.5 liters.
  • The 1.4-liter difference between the diesel variants and the FJ6 petrol variant reflects a meaningful distinction in transmission size or design, as a 4.9-liter fill is notably large for a manual gearbox and suggests a heavier-duty unit.
  • Across all three variants covering 1985-1990, the service interval is set at 24,000 km or 18 months, whichever comes first, applying to both normal and severe use conditions.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 24,000 km / 18-month interval is specified as a fluid check rather than a full fluid change, meaning the level and condition are inspected rather than the fluid being replaced.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 24,000 km / 18-month interval triggers a full fluid change rather than a check, indicating a more demanding service action at an identical mileage and time threshold.
  • The BJ6 (3.4 D) and HJ6 (4.0 D) share identical capacity and interval specifications across both normal and severe use conditions, despite differing in engine displacement and diesel engine family.
