Great video, I have a 21 Jeep Wrangler. Yes I know it's not a Toyota but we all have to start somewhere LOL. I just completed the same maintenance where I did the front and rear axles and transfer case. The dealers starting price is $450 for the maintenance, along with the other checks that they do during that service. I looked at him like he had two heads when he told me the price. My cost for the fluids was $115 with about 90 minutes of my time.

[@dannyswayze2133]

Thank you for mentioning to clean the excess grease up. Not only does it make a mess, but it is an environmental hazard. It’s not the one, it’s the many making the difference!

[@svla8146]

You are amazing. 4Runners rule, Tacomas are ok.

[@stevenwheat]

On the zerks in the spider i like pump til grease comes out then keep going till new clean grease comes out that way youve pushed out all the old grease😊

[@email16v]

Yup. That's the way it should be done. Good job!

[@Engnear86]

There is some thermal expansion of that filter housing for sure. But I do know that every time I brought my wife's Rav in for oil change they didn't torque them properly. So difficult to get off. More piece of mind now doing it myself.

[@joeythedime1838]

Tip 1: If you do happen to over grease the slip yokes (wink, wink), just remove a zerk fitting and drive around for a bit. The excess grease will be forced out of the hole were the zerk fitting was, then just reinstall the zerk fitting and hit the area with brake clean. Tip 2: Gold Plug and Dimple make a high quality magnetic plug that replaces the transfer cases stock non-magnetic plug. Tip 3: You can upgrade your brake fluid to a DOT 5.1. This will help if your doing heavy towing as DOT 5.1 is glycol-base, compared to DOT 5 being silicon based, and is compatible with DOT 3, but has a much higher boiling point: 500 degrees dry and 356 degrees wet.

[@RushRunner_22]

Are the rear diff washers a different size from the front fill washer? Your video lists the front fill as: 12157-10010 and the rear as: 125157-10010. The video description shows these the same but I wanted to confirm. I’m unable to find 125157-10010 which suggests it was a typo. Great video and thanks for putting these out!

It's also a plus you are not outside in the wind while on jacks. That is a big safety thing in Aviation, and generally applicable to increasingly less streamlined 4Runners.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Yeah I’m not. 😂

[@imtherealjoeyd]

What interval do you do the power steering flush? And what fluid do you recommend? Thanks in advance!

[@LOLZZ184]

As a Toyota tech I approve. But I wouldn't pump in till you see grease come out, you are essentially breaking the rubber boot seal for the u-joint....

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Yeah I know people disagree on that topic. As a diy (not pro) mechanic I was told it’s good to expel a small amount of old grease and grime to keep the seals fresh and clean them… but not overdo it because that blows out the seals like you said.

[@jimmyj5038]

How much should you pump?

[@LOLZZ184]

@jimmyj5038 As silly as it sounds, by feel. When you connect the grease fitting, you feel it "latch" then as you go to pump the handle. You feel it pump easily. You know when you're done when you feel resistant on the handle while pumping. Pumps vary depending on the needs of the vehicle.

[@marknease1631]

Is he using the torque wrench correctly? If you have an extension on the socket, won’t that give you an incorrect torque?

[@scotw67]

@@marknease1631I don’t think using a straight extension will alter torque settings because everything is in line. There are some offset sockets that have specific instructions as far as torque settings.

[@strikerbrown8395]

اThank you my friend for this wonderful information

[@johdirt7843]

Toyota gear oil is EXPENSIVE. I will challenge you though, a quality 75W90 GL-5 gear oil (Mobil 1, Delo, Valvoline, etc.) will not damage your diff. In fact, many dealerships don't use Toyota gear oil for a drain and fill service on the diff or transfer case. As a note, some hardcore off roaders recommend that you use dino / conventional oil and just change more often. East Coast Gear supply, a diff manufacturer recommends dino oil.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

I'm sure it's fine. I know that's what Nitro Gear uses as well. They used 75W90 GL5 synthetic on everything. I'm just going to match the owners manual since everything is stock and it costs almost the same. 75W90 is much easier to get locally.

[@kasrahoushmand4054]

Yeah I am totally okay with changing my transfer and diffs with 75w90 GL-5. toyota uses that. IF you change it, you're miles ahead. The fact youre reading this means you care.

[@trailrunnah8886]

Yeah, I've used 75/90 in mine when I did the diffs. I actually put it in the t-case too. That was about 70k miles ago, so I'm gearing up to do this again soon. I am going to use the correct Red line in the tcase this time though, when I originally did this I just bought the gear oil locally and did not realize the difference.

[@NunyaBusiness...]

With those driveline zerks being so crunchy; do you think it would help to fill them like you did, put a hundred miles on it, and then fill them again to push out the grease to try and get the grit out?

[@syntrax-og]

Are the torque settings same for Tacomas? I'm really liking this video!

[@JasonExplainsThings]

I’d double check that. Some definitely are like lug nuts, the oil filter cap, etc.

[@davidmisselhorn6720]

@JasonExplainsThings You put a link to an NLGI number 2 EP2 Brown grease. In your video it looks like you're using a blue grease. Can you specify exactly which grease your using? The grease your link sends us to is a Mobil 122136. Visually the grease is a beige color. Is that correct?

[@DGFG-pq6rr]

Great DIY, but you may want to add checking the rear axle breather. They seize up with dust, rust(norther rust belt), and dirt. Later you end up with leaking axle seals.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Great point! I do plan on adding the ARB breather at some point as well.

[@Slickand515]

Are the grease fittings for the propeller shafts on Toyota's ( I have a 2017 Tacoma 4x4) universal in size? I bought a grease gun and it's hard to tell if the connector on the gun is too large preventing it from seating or it's the fitting. Any advice is appreciated

[@tuckerhiggins4336]

I've never serviced diffs that often. My only consideration would be a flush on a new vehicle. Unless you are underwater you can go a while

[@kakha_t6372]

do similar guide for bison too

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Good idea. I’ll try. Chris bought the maintenance package from the dealership which I believe just ended. Havoline sent me oil for his truck but we haven’t used it yet. If I can I definitely will. 👍

[@MT_53]

I was hoping that you would list the part number(s) for changing the stock plastic oil filter housing and longer internal metal pick-up tube. Would you PLEASE list them for us??

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Covered in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYazhq2EbM1ssLc

[@strikerbrown8395]

Hey Jason! Thanks for putting this video together. It was so helpful! Quick question re oil fill levels for the rear differential. I drive a 2018 4Runner SR5 (same vehicle as your dad). I noticed that the rear diff held more oil than the manual indicates before it began to drip from the fill plug. Mine took roughly 3.25 qts as opposed to the 2.9 qts indicated in the manual. I confirmed vehicle was 100% level prior to performing the service. Did you notice the same thing? Should I be concerned I've overfilled the rear diff?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

So the SR5 does take more than others because it doesn’t have a rear locker. I’m guessing you’re probably fine.

[@strikerbrown8395]

Thanks!@@JasonExplainsThings

[@billchristo7894]

Thanks for these vids, very helpful. However, I Tried ordering those crush washers and got a call from the parts dept telling me the transfer case washer part numbers were incorrect. 🤔. The front and rear diffs were correct.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

I recommend 6 ton jackstands that have a safety pin. The newer ones from Harbor Freight are great in my experience.

[@timothymichael2561]

I think Toyota uses gold in their oil formulations. Redline makes some high quality stuff, I usually go AMSoil on all my diffs, transmission, and transfer cases.

[@BigBluePile]

There are actually THREE different tcases for the 4Runner. So, definitely make sure you're using the correct fluid.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Go ahead and check the owners manual if you don’t trust my info. There’s a screen shot of the exact specs. Only difference is capacity. They all use the same spec oil.

[@BigBluePile]

​@@JasonExplainsThings you either use LF or 75W. Cool man, cool. You should lube your shafts every oil change which is every 10k on these things....depending on use....🤷🏿

[@juliuscafe]

Ive seen couple 4runner owner doin there own maintainance they use 75W-90 on all 3 gear box? so the in the middle gear box is different you use the MT-LV.?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

The middle one is the transfer case… and 100% does not use the same oil as the front and rear diff.

[@TheSponge945]

Everywhere I saw everyone runs 75w90 in the TC.. so is this MT-LV stuff the same as 75w85? I see redline had both which one is the one to go with if not 75w90.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

No, it’s very different. Looks and smells different in person as well. I would not advise ignoring the fluid requirement for the transfer case.

[@danial9902]

How much will you charge me for a oil change if I bring oil,filter

[@user-kq8cb3le2j]

Just on my oil change done by my local dealership. The person must have used a impact gun on my oil fiter . And the drain on the filter . I had to use the breaker bar to remove the oil filter plaster housing. Of course they denied it. .

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Yeah it’s ridiculous man.

[@Rhaspun]

Due to my job and the limited time I was home. I used a local oil change business for the oil changes. When I switched jobs I started doing my own oil changes again. They had barely tighten the filter. I could literally twist it with my finger tips. They were just making it easier for themselves. They used a larger universal fit oil plug gasket and when looking at the indentations on it. That gasket was last a millimeter away from leaking.

[@NickAck23]

question for you, i have been looking into this a bit since yesterday when i realized i am due for this work. the car care nut has a video about transfer case fluid. he stated you are ok to use GL5 multiweight in both the transfer case and the difs. out of curiosity any reason you didnt go that route?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

I followed the owners manual. It’s pretty specific about what’s required.

Where should I put the level on my 4runner to make sure its completely level? Looks like you did it on the running board, my doesn't seem super straight. Part of the frame perhaps? How big of a deal is it if its not perfectly level but close?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Yeah find a nice straight place in the frame. I’d say just make sure it’s close.

What OBD scanner do you use for checking transmission temperature?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

That’s covered in the 60k video that shows servicing the transmission.

[@chrisdeantonio1498]

That's a bummer that the lock 'n lube grease gun didn't work for that one grease fitting. Do you know if they make any adapters? It's a really nice product, but don't want to spend the money for it if it's not going to work for all the fittings.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

It might’ve been how I lifted the rear from the axle. I’m wondering if it was on the ground (rear suspension not compressed) if it would have fit. Honestly not sure.
