guys i changed the gear oil of my rear diffrential, it was lowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, i could not believe it.
Guys when i took the original oil, it smelled terrible, i don t know how to explain it but it left my garage with a horrible smell, is that common?
One more question how many gallon the titan takes? the manual got me confused with what it says about Usa and imports.
The oil i put was 75-90 mobil1 i tried to look in the manual what for what they recomend and i think i saw 80-90 is that right?
Thank to all of you for coaching me.
Alex.

good choice and your truck will thank you....

The rear diff takes 68 ozs. per the manual (that's a little over 2 quarts) but some have reported being able to get a little bit more in than that.

The M1 75W-90 is a perfect choice and the smell is typical gear oil. Nasty isn't it?? That's why after I change it I get the old stuff out of my garage ASAP because it will stink up a garage big time....

If you have a 4x4 make sure to check/change the front diff. too
