What sort of oil and how much do i need for the diff. The manual i have says 1ltr, but i think this isnt right.
Any help is much appreciated.

I was just making sure that all, there seems to be a lot of free-play (when i turn the tail-shaft by hand) then what i would consider normal.

the s-series diff takes exactly 1.0 litre. (aus-spec povvo)
the t-series diff takes 1.3 litres.
in the australian climate, toyota recommends using a straight SAE 90. (for anything above -18 degrees Celcius)
it is, however acceptable to use 80W-90.
UNLESS you have an LSD in your car, then you use LS90.
and Simon is right...changing your diff oil will not solve an excessive backlash problem.
