May as well just change the oil while you're at it, open the filler hole first, then drain the box out the bottom plug hole. Make sure the car is on a flat surface and fill the box until the oil runs out the filler hole and you're done.
Check the Toyota reccomended grade but it should be something like a 80-90 GL-4 between 2-3 litres.
