I want to say that thank you so much for all your videos (Rear, Front and T-case) fluid change. Today, I have successfully changed all three fluids on my LX 570 with your videos. Many thanks for your videos, I'd appreciated very much!

[@DIY_5280]

I would not have attempted to do this without your video, everything went well, thanks very much

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

Thank you for taking the time to do this and post it!

[@omgautos]

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for taking your time to make this video. The amount of bolts that have to be removed is crazy for the little protection that sheet metal can provide. I am going to drill an across hole for the drain plug. They need to make one big skid plate for the underneath. Instead of a half dozen different skid plates made from scrap metal.

[@omgautos]

Right on

[@DTM.Desperado]

I'm thinking about doing the same, why didn't they put access holes for the drain bolt 🤦‍♂️

[@christophermartin972]

I did the front & rear differential fluids, oer your excellent video. This looked a bit too involved for my ability. The dealer only charged me $150, which is high still, but I thought it would’ve been higher.

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

18:16 The way you said "Leaksss" makes me think you put around 32 ftlbs. "Leakss" would have been closer to 27. ;-)

[@christiannewhan-lo4bx]

What type of Red Line fluid are you using? I did not know they made a fluid for the transfer case. Thanks in advance and thanks for making these videos!

[@omgautos]

13:43 👍

[@ezmirza]

It hard work since you had to go underneath the car it kind a hard to move around. If it’s lift or jack up with support much easier.. Nice work though it good idea alway have another person around you in case you need something or some emergency. Good detail and parts information 👍👍

[@omgautos]

yep - want to show it as anyone else would do it. throwing it on a lift would be nice, but cheating :-)

Redline has a Toyota spec transfer case fluid 75w from oreilly

Дружище, надеюсь ты перед тем как залезть под автомобиль, поставил блокировку гидроподвески? Если нет, то обязательно всегда блокируй гидроподвеску, техника безопасности превыше всего. В следующий раз чтобы не мучиться и не снимать защиту раздаточной коробки, просто вырежи шлифовальной машинкой металл в зоне сливного отверстия. После этого будешь масло менять за 10 минут. И купи себе шприц заправочный, например JTC 5534 , очень удобная вещь. Ты им и в акпп, и в редукторах сможешь масло очень быстро менять. Хороший канал у тебя, полезный. Удачи! Надеюсь перевод с русского на английский будет понятным ))))

[@omgautos]

все понятно. спасибо за комент и совет.✌

[@kwelhand]

Always awesome!

[@omgautos]

Thanks! This was a long one, but hopefully helpful.

[@driojal]

For God's sake put it in Neutral when you change it to and from 4LO and when you engage the center diff lock too.

[@gerardoarzola532]

why

[@JoeO.]

I appreciate the garage floor method POV of your videos - all the other 200 Series videos have lifts - the only difference between your video and my experience is there’s a lot more groaning and cussing in my garage…

[@omgautos]

lol. you should see the amount of groaning and cussing that ended up in the editing bin...

[@هذاانا-ق6ر]

15/16 inch socket is the right one it fits it better than 24mm

[@omgautos]

if it works, it must be the right one 😉

[@anthonyaztiptoenailsandspa7259]

I have a 2020 LX 570 with 35k miles. I never off road, towing nor driving in dusty condition. Do I need to replace the transfer case fluid or Differential fluid anytime soon? Thanks for the video.

[@kartikatluri1004]

No. Just follow the maintanance minders on the screen. You don’t Need to do anything extra especially if you don’t offroad. Remember these cars run forever if you just follow the maintenance that pops up on screen

[@omgautos]

the owners manual for these lx's is actually pretty good in the maintenance section. recommend you read there for the intervals. The warranty guide calls for every 15k if you're towing, and i think it's 'lifetime' if you're not towing/offroading/driving in dusty conditions. i would never let it go that far though. i change every 30/40k. Here's the guide for my yr: assets.sia.toyota.com/publications/en/omms-s/L-MMS-08LX570/pdf/L-MMS-08LX570.pdf

Have you change coolant on your car and if YES - can you post video about coolant change for 3UR-FE engine

[@haroldhu4186]

Great ! Any plans for AHC fluid and transmission fluid changes?

[@omgautos]

I've done the AHC fluid about 35k miles ago, and it seems to be holding up. It's very much like bleeding the breaks in the DIY version. You raise the suspension, crack the bleed screw, lower the suspension. If I do it again, I'll be sure to video it. I've had an independent shop do a drain/fill on the suspension, but not the full-on flush. Thought about tackling that one myself, but haven't built up the motivation, quite yet.

[@moerahmanyan7151]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@omgautos]

thanks for watching!

[@themeltdownshow]

Did you put suspension in high mode first?

[@omgautos]

sure did

[@christophermartin972]

Get some jackstands man, it would make your life soooooooo much easier hahaha

[@omgautos]

What I really need is a lift

[@christophermartin972]

@@omgautos jack stands are affordable 😂
