Default Differential Drain and Fill

I have changed all the fluids in the new to me 2000 RX300 - all except the differential oil.

Would you recommend I do that too ? Is there a how-to link somewhere ?

This is the one I did a while back. Keep in mind for the transfer case and rear differential, this only applies if you have AWD, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=214000

The tools need are listed specifically by some of the other members after my photos, as my uncle and I use a lot of unorthodox methods to do things.

My instructions only apply to AWD, FWD does not have a transfer case or rear differential.

However, if you did have an AWD, you would need .9 liters for the transfer case and .9 liters for the rear differential.
