So, while I could not wait for you to replace the front pads and rotors on your 4runner as a video, I used your method for flushing the brake fluid (including the fluid extractor from your link). was just was easy as you described--took about 35 minutes to get all 4 wheels, and used the full 2 quarts. As always, thanks for the detailed how-to videos.

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.

The differential is the same as before. They used to spec 75W-90 GL-5. They changed it to 75W-85 to get just a slight edge on gas mileage but with a loss of longevity. So 75W-90 is perfectly acceptable, you'll just burn a little more gas, but it'll last a lot longer too.

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!

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.

It goes away engaging 4x4 in 4H. They put 75w90 front 80w90 rear and 75w90 for the Tcase. They said the symptoms aren’t related to the service and told me I needed a needle bearing upgrade with bushing which I did with ecgs. The symptoms are still present but not as aggressive and loud as before. Any thoughts ?

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?

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?

@7:10 You mentioned that you were slightly at fault for the dealer not doing the lubrication job. How can one make sure the dealer or any shop did it?

As far as I know the only way to tell is a visual inspection (does the shaft look super dry) and you can also tell when putting new grease in. If you pump a lot into the u-joints and you hear a bunch of dirt and air leave the joint then it was likely not lubricated for a long time… like mine was.

Would lithium based NGLI 2 "Red and Tacky" be appropriate for all three zerk fittings on the proper shaft? The manual of course has two different types listed for the spider joint and the slide yoke, but ultimately says you can use lithium NGLI 2 grease on everything.

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

@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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
