If the 94 is like my 92 there is a separate drain and refill point for
the differential.
The filler is a bitch to get to.
My transmission guy suggested filling the differential with hypoid
oil, which he did. His reasoning is the heat here in Florida is
better handled with hypoid oil.
Toyota suggests transmission fluid for the differential.
