    I'm coming up on 30k miles. I changed the front and rear diffs to Amsoil durring my last oil change. If Amsoil had a recomendation for the t-case I would be switching to that, but since they don't I'll be staying with the OE fluid.
    For those who also use the OE Toyota transfer fluid LF 75W, where do you buy it from and what does it cost?

    I would not waste your money changing T case oil unless you always drive in 4wd. I use it fairly often and when I changed it on my Tacoma at 50k it looked like what I poured from the bottle.

    I'm a firm beliver in preventive mantiance, so I would perfer to change it as directed by the service manual. Also for the sake of the warranty and extended warranty I would like to have receipts and everything on record accordingly.
    I don't mind spending the money to do things "right". That said, I don't want to waste money buying it from somewhere more expensive when I can get the same exact can somewhere else.
    I would order it from my local dealer, but I have recently swore and posted my reviews that they will never get another penny from me after the issues I have had with our old Tacoma's service, our Tundra purchase, and our Tundra's service... Plus they would probably charge $200 a can as they wanted $85 for a rim hub cover that they lost after an oil change.

    Do you use the truck exclusively for towing, hauling, or in extreme conditions? Under normal use, there is no change interval in the maintenance schedule so 30k would definitely be early. I did the differentials on mine but did not do the t-case due to everyone saying the oil looked pristine when changing it under 100k.

    Yes, sorry I did forget to mention I tow a decent amount hence the 30k change. Also I wanted to change the transmission. Not that it is need per say, but back to the preventive maintenance. I figured I would change everything once before 30k and every 50-60k thereafter. This allows me to move to the fluids I prefer (Amsoil in most cases) and give everything a once over.

    Change it if you want to and post what it looks like when you do. Unless you are running in 4wd a lot I think you will find t case fluid clean and wonder why you bothered. I also believe in preventive maintenance but only when needed. I have run many 4x4 vehicles and have changed t case fluid on most at some point and never drained one with dirty or even discolored fluid.

    Well I guess I would rather change it and it be clean than dirty. Because if it's dirty I'll be wondering why I didn't change it just a little sooner.
    The point of this thread was to learn where other people purchased their fluid and for what price. This way I could make an informed decision when purching. Knowing if a store is charging too much for a product and possibly finding a place to purchase from that I otherwise wouldn't have.
