5 Ways You Could Be Ruining Your Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, or FJ Cruiser

[@T4Rgarage]

Please Note: My explanation of locking in 4wd and damaging/stressing the differential/driveline could be explained a bit better. For the limited models the differentiation between wheel speeds, outside being the front & inside being rear, can put stress on the locking diff (limited models) and transfer case/driveline components (all other models).

[@br31woodlands69]

Took to dealer for 10K service, and asked for Prop shaft fittings lubrication as specified in warranty guide. Both service advisors said it is a generic statement and they come lubricated from factory and don’t need any lubrication. Go figure.

[@michaelstarmer3497]

@@br31woodlands69 I hit em every 5k with Mystik JT-6 Hi-Temp and call it a day. The prop shafts specify moly OR regular so it makes sense to just have one gun and hit them all at the same time. I'm guessing the majority of 4R's are hitting impressive mileage without any lubing of any kind, so if you just grease them once a year you're probably way above average.

[@michaelcho1106]

@@kandaharenglish2595 I have the same question. Can I drive on 4HI on rainy, cold, Vancouver Dec-Feb road condition (mine is SR5 so no full-time AWD)? will exiting highway (not a straight line) damage the transfer case? What kind of turns are generally acceptable? For example, would it be okay to drive sea-to-sky highway on 4HI at around 80 km/hr?

[@michaelstarmer3497]

Came here to say don't forget to lube the u-joints and prop shafts. The dealer will not do these items regardless of what the manual says. I hit em with a pump when I change my oil, every 5K. If I'm not mistaken Quaker State Ultimate Protection has a super high moly content if someone is looking for that. Mobil 1 Extended Performance is also a great choice. Great video!

I'm still unclear about the possibility of over greasing the shaft. The old grease never comes out.

[@bohan9957]

Just to add, people who own 4Runner Limited with full time 4WD should still exercise the actuators once a month. Put the vehicle in Neutral, put it in 4LO, lock the diff, then back to 4HI, and unlock the diff. There is no need to drive in 4LO because the transfer case gets exercised all the time when you're in 4HI.

I am good for all except 1….I purchased my 2024 TRD ORP 4Runner in Colorado but I live in Texas…… It was really difficult not to drive at high speed or at a constant speed the entire 1200 miles home!😮. I got to say, There was some really upset drivers at me! Not going over 60 on the interstate is not very popular! I am not sure I completely followed this guideline but I did my best… I took as many back roads, stopped at every rest stop and town I could and did not use cruise control. I also drove behind every big rig I could because they go slower than usual. But, all of the others I do. Especially the oil changes.. 1st one @1k and every 5k after that.

[@justahumbledude]

I was just thinking about #1 today. My vehicle is "new" and I haven't worked my transfer case much, so took the time today to learn it and use it. I also have just over 1.3k miles, and just did my 1k oil change. I think CCN just explained the wash down situation recently as well and since I drive shorter trips often I'm making sure I sit there for 2min before driving and 2min after parking. Also, to keep the air system from accumulating moisture, it's recommended to NOT recirculate unless necessary and to turn off the A/C a few minutes before you shut off the vehicle and get outside air to dry it out. Will help with air quality.

2016 4runner 14,000 miles. Yes, that's correct. Original owner. Female. Just got service done today. Transmission fluid flush/ fill, Front & Rear differential, transfer case, oil change, tire rotation today.... took it back to shop after it was done because it was making sounds and doing things its never done before... A quiet high pitched sound when around 2000rpm +/-, you need good hearing and or young ears... service advisor and tech drove it and didn't hear... had the windows down... how did they think they would hear a quiet noise with air and traffic sounds??? Its always made sounds of acceration when accelerating. But this is different. Sort of vibrational, sort of whistle like... very quiet... but different than it previously sounded. Was also having a feeling of it slipping when making its first shift, but i think it was the traction control... it had activated after stopping on a steep hill on way home from service completion... and then would periodically kind of jolt when accelerating mostly from a stop after that activation. Seems to have stopped... I had a different vehicle do that as well when the traction stability control activated... It's extremely disconcerting for it to do the jolt when you are on straight flat road. I was very concerned as transmission fluid was just changed. Maybe a bubble or something. There is also a little woosh to woosh whistle (not loud) like sound sometimes when i turn now... granted previously it was squeaking a little when turning. I don't know if any of these sounds are serious issues... but I know they are different than it sounded before. Anyone with same issues and the answer, and solution if a problem would be most appreciated!!! I'm taking it back on Monday if it persists for service manager to ride along. I hope he has good hearing. Posted to a previous video regardinf 3 sounds, shoyld you be worried.

[@joey1957]

Possibly the transmission fluid exchange is the issue. Especially since you’re stating different shifts after the service. Most likely not enough fluid was replaced. I had a similar issue after a service @100k on my 2012. Had the service redone and the “whistle/squish” noise went away.

Misses some key points. 1) 0W-20 is just a best fuel economy viscosity. But worldwide, Toyota truck and SUV owners manuals say 5W-30 is best for engine protection, even if the vehicle was factory filled with 0W-20. 2) Japan's top engine engineers recommend 2000-4000 mile oil changes for longest engine life. 3) Wearable components of the ignition & emission system need to be replaced before they are totally worn out. 4) The transmission is the most failure prone drivetrain component so needs fluid changes every 30,000.

[@T4Rgarage]

@@verlaryder Great points. Also important to note that most engine wear occurs during cold starts. As per Toyota “0W20 is the best choice for fuel economy and good starting in cold weather” “The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristics of the oil which allows cold stability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather” (This is what they provide to us in North America) It is said to reach critical engine components within 1-2 seconds on cold starts to reduce engine wear. The use of 5W-30 is only suggested by Toyota in warmer climates such as Puerto Rico. I’m all about the maintenance on the transmission, so good call. Reports of transmission failures for 5th gen 4runners and 3rd gen tacomas seems quite rare, or at least that’s what I’ve heard. Can you provide any articles or service bulletins which indicate that these transmissions are a weak point? Ive heard plenty of people report they’ve gone hundreds of thousands of miles without changing the fluid, not that I would ever recommend that

[@verlaryder]

@@T4Rgarage toyota manuals outside the USA and Canada say 5W-30 is among the RECOMMENDED viscosities for year round use. Indisputable fact. Even in 2025 Camrys and Corollas that came factory filled with 0W-8.

Toyota changed their oil formula to align with the new boosted engines and pre ignition concerns with additives like Molly. I didn’t believe it so I sent a sample off to Blackstone and sure enough there’s only about a quarter of the Molly that it used to contain. A good option for motor oil that still contains high Molly is Valvoline extended protection high mileage. Like I said, I used to believe Toyota motor oil had high Molly and it did but they have changed it and the proof is in the numbers sadly. I also tried an expensive boutique oil redline. It was supposed to have high Molly content, but it had actually less than the Toyota motor oil in its current form and cost almost twice as much! This too was proven by a black stone report.
