Hi TVT,

New to the forum, just became the owner of a 1992 TownAce Camper (series CM65-TBQDS), just like this one here: https://www.ottoex.com/inventory/1992-toyota-townace-motorhome/

I am in the process of replacing all the fluids and filter, but I am having a hard time figuring out the recommended oil types and capacities. The van didn't come with any manuals and I for some reason can't find clear info online.

So for the 2C (NON-turbo)diesel with 5spd manual transmission, what are the specs and capacities for the following?

1. Engine Oil
2. Rear End / Transfer Case Gear oil

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, have a look at this thread there's a service manual that another member posted in posting number 5, hopefully the answer will be available.

Hi JDM VANMAN, thanks for the welcome. I actually did already look at that manual, and it does not specify the oil type, it just mentions the oil quality "e.g., CC vs CD". Nothing about the gear oil, because the manual just covers the 2C engine.
