On your 2009 Toyota Tacoma, it is recommended to use Toyota Genuine Differential Gear Oil LT 75W-85 GL-5. Another option is the Red Line Synthetic Gear Oil 75W-85. The front oil capacity for the 4WD is 1.5L, while for 2WD vehicles, the rear capacity is 3.66 US quarts and for 4WD vehicles, it is 3.12 US quarts. The primary role of the differential fluid in your Tacoma is to keep the differential well-lubricated. Without this fluid, there is a risk of the differential overheating and potentially damaging its metal components. Be sure to check the fluid levels weekly to prevent this from happening.
