Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Sienna XL10 (MCL10) carries a differential fluid capacity of 0.8 liter across all listed configurations for 1998-2000, covering both Canadian and US market variants of the 3.0 V6.
  • A 0.8 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the volume required when draining and refilling the differential during routine maintenance rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • The differential fluid noted in all rows is sourced from the automatic transmission, indicating the front differential shares fluid with the transaxle assembly rather than operating as a fully independent unit.
  • Canadian market specifications for 1998-2000 set a check interval at 12,000 km and a change interval at 24,000 km under normal use conditions, applying the same schedule across both the 1998 and 1999-2000 model year groupings.
  • US market specifications for 1998-2000 under normal use conditions call for a check at 30,000 miles or 24 months, with no change interval listed for that use condition.
  • Under severe use conditions, the US market 1998 Sienna 3.0 V6 MCL10 shortens the check interval to 15,000 miles or 12 months and adds a change interval of 30,000 miles or 24 months, neither of which appears in the normal use schedule.
  • The same severe use intervals of 15,000 miles or 12 months for checking and 30,000 miles or 24 months for changing carry forward unchanged into the 1999-2000 US market specification.
  • The Canadian market schedule expresses intervals purely in kilometers, while the US market schedule uses miles paired with a time-based threshold in months, reflecting different regional service documentation conventions for the same vehicle platform.
