Toyota Land Cruiser, J200 (USA / CAN)

Additional Notes

• The Toyota Land Cruiser J200 (URJ200) 5.7 V8 4WD carries a front differential fluid capacity of 1.9 liters across all model years from 2008 through 2021, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul volume.
• The rear differential holds considerably more fluid than the front, with a capacity of 4.15 liters on 2008-2009 models, reflecting the larger housing typical of a rear axle assembly on a full-size 4WD platform.
• Starting with the 2010 model year, the rear differential capacity increased slightly to 4.2 liters and remained at that figure through 2021, while the front differential capacity stayed unchanged at 1.9 liters across the same period.
• Under normal use conditions, the front and rear differential fluid intervals are both set at 15,000 miles or 18 months, with the service action specified as a check rather than a fluid change.
• Under severe use conditions, the same 15,000-mile or 18-month interval applies to both differentials, but the service action shifts from a check to a full fluid change, indicating a more demanding maintenance requirement tied directly to operating conditions.
• The dual-interval structure of 15,000 miles or 18 months means whichever threshold arrives first governs the service event, a time-distance pairing that accounts for vehicles accumulating low annual mileage.
• The front differential capacity of 1.9 liters remains identical under both normal and severe use conditions across all covered model years, meaning operating environment affects the service action but not the fluid volume specification.
• The rear differential capacity of 4.2 liters under severe use conditions on 2010-2021 models requires a full fluid change at 15,000 miles or 18 months, making the rear axle the higher-volume service point on the drivetrain for those years.
