Genuine Toyota 90341-24014 Front Differential Drain Plug

Perfect fit, dealers oil changes stripped out my 10 mm allen and of course didn't tell me!

This is an exact replacement for the front drain plug of the 5th gen 4Runner. Toyota should have used the same bolt head type of drain plug they have on the rear diff and transfer case, but instead used this design. I’ve heard you can buy the Lexus (Toyota) version with the bolt head but I was unable to find the exact one and used this instead. They tend to strip easily, (hence my purchase) so during install I put anti seize on the threads to help prevent that from happening next time.

This drain plug serves it purpose. But not entirely sure it's a genuine Toyota part.

I got it just in case I mangled the differential plug taking it off of my 2007 FJ Cruiser. I had seen many videos where the plugs are rounded out and or are hard to get off. Fortunately, I did not need it, but I put it on nevertheless and now I have a spare plug.

Perfect fit for a 1996 V6 Tacoma extended cab. Make sure to purchase a new gasket as well:Front Differential Drain Gasket 90430-24003 48 Ft-Lb 10mm hexhttp://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Toyota-90430-24003-Differential-Gasket/dp/B00MBQS86O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1438295840&sr=8-1&keywords=90430-24003Here is some other useful info for your TacomaPart Name Part Number TorqueSpecification WrenchSizeTransfer Case Fill Gasket 90430-18008 27 Ft-Lb 24mm socketTransfer Case Drain Gasket 90430-18008 27 Ft-Lb 24mm socketFront Differential Fill Gasket 12157-10010 29 Ft-Lb 10mm hexFront Differential Drain Gasket 90430-24003 48 Ft-Lb 10mm hexRear Differential Fill Gasket 12157-10010 36 Ft-Lb 24mm socketRear Differential Drain Gasket 12157-10010 36 Ft-Lb 24mm socketEngine Oil Pan Drain Gasket 90430-12028 27 Ft-Lb 14mm socket________________________________________________________________Part Amount Needed Manufacturer Specification Type changed to Part #Transmission 16.0 Quarts ATF D-II or Dexron III Amsoil Synthetic Universal ATF ATF-QTTransfer Case 1.1 Quarts SAE 75W-90, Gear Oil API GL-4 or GL-5 Amsoil Synthetic 75W-90 AGR-QTFront Differential 1.2 Quarts SAE 75W-90, Hypoid Gear Oil API GL-5 Amsoil Synthetic 75W-90 AGR-QTRear Differential 2.6 Quarts SAE 80W-90, Hypoid Gear Oil API GL-5 Amsoil Synthetic 80W-90 AGL-QT

This went into the front diff in my 1999 4Runner Sport. Perfect fit of course. I had accidentally ordered it for my 1995 pickup's transfer case, for which it is NOT a fit at all. My bad. I later got the 4R and its front diff is where this goes. It is of typical (high) quality, works properly. Remember you need a huge 10mm hex socket to remove and install. I used a 3/8" drive socket and that was strong enough. If your existing plug hasn't been changed for a while, make sure to douse it with penetrant first, let that soak overnight, and then take care in removing it so you don't strip out the socket. To tighten, make sure to use the correct washer and torque it to only 20 ft-lbs.

@Toyota: why on earth would you engineer this plug with a hex? These are notorious for getting stuck, and the hex gets stripped. I had to weld a 10mm hex bit onto the plug to get it out (destroying the plug). Should have made this the same drain plug as the rear diff. There’s a much better option for the front diff: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BB66JPK6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

This drain plug fits my 2015 Toyota Tacoma front differential perfectly. Had to chisel my old one out because I stripped the inside. Planning to tack weld a flange nut in the face of the old plug and reuse it because this new one will eventually strip as well.

It was a perfect fit, just like OEM
