Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Land Cruiser 100 J10 (EU) front differential holds 1.7 liters across both the 4.2 TD D4-D and the 4.7 V8 32V engine variants, indicating a shared front axle housing capacity despite the difference in drivetrain configuration.
  • The standard rear differential on the 4.2 TD D4-D carries a 3.3-liter fluid capacity, while the limited slip rear differential on the same engine holds 3.2 liters, a 0.1-liter difference that reflects the additional internal components of the limited slip unit occupying space within the housing.
  • The same rear differential capacity pattern of 3.3 liters for the open unit and 3.2 liters for the limited slip unit is also present on the 4.7 V8 32V, consistent with the 4.2 TD D4-D figures.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 4.2 TD D4-D differential fluid change interval is set at 40,000 km for all three differential positions, front, rear open, and rear limited slip, with no separate inspection interval specified.
  • The 4.7 V8 32V, covering model years 2000-2001, carries a more structured service schedule under normal use conditions, with a fluid level check at 15,000 km or 12 months and a full fluid change at 30,000 km or 48 months, applied equally to all three differential positions.
  • The 4.7 V8 32V change interval of 30,000 km is shorter than the 40,000 km interval specified for the 4.2 TD D4-D, representing a meaningful difference in how frequently differential fluid replacement is required between the two engine variants.
  • The 48-month time-based change limit on the 4.7 V8 32V means that even with low mileage accumulation under normal use conditions, a fluid change is due within four years regardless of distance traveled.
