5th Gen 4Runner - Transfer Case Fluid Service - Quick and Easy! 

Great choice of fluid. When I did my first transfer case fluid change I also changed the bottom factory drain plug to a Dimple M18x1.5×12 Magnetic Drain Plug. This drain plug fits the transfer case and rear differential drain plug on the 5th gen 4R's.

Another great video!! All 4Runner owners should be required to subscribe to your channel.

I love straight forward videos like yours bro. Thank you.

Thanks for the videos man. 30k for the transfer case is overkill even if you're towing but piece of mind is worth the extra cost.

Great videos! Very on point. No BS. No unnecessary monologue. Really enjoying your channel.

Great video man! You’re one of the only people to show the one and only correct non OEM fluid for the transfer case! Just bought some of that Redline too

Great video! Just getting out of warranty so need to do this maintenance. Dealers and independent shops are charging $150-180 for EACH fluid change, a 30K service is $500-1000!

I bought a high mileage and your videos are the best for maintenance since like this one is only 5min and tells me all I need to know.

Good work man. Appreciate the videos. I am doing the work on my runner thanks to your help🎉

Ill be changing soon at 120k miles - thanks so much!

This video is so straight forward. Thank you!

Looks like I got some maintenance to do! Thanks for your videos man really great

Thank you, very good description!

Your channel is amazing. Thank you!!!!!!! ❤

I have so much catch up work. Great videos.

I'll be changing mine wow so easy!

The label on the back of MT-LV fluid says it is for manual transmissions. Will it work for automatic transmission part time 4WD as well?

Red Line 75W-85 Synthetic GL-5 Gear Oil What I pumped into my "limited" transfer case. Meets the demand as well, for this limited slip differential.

Great video! Is it OK to use the same pump for the transfer case after using it to change the diff fluid?

Another great video, thanks again!

The Toyota manual is asking LF specs for the oil, and the one suggested is LV. Also, the one suggested is for manual transmissions which I think it should be pointed out.

Thank you for your service

Like many have said, a lot of work to do. I have been ordering left and right to get so much done but I do have a question. I work on my 4wheeler and noticed that when I purchased gaskets or parts from Amazon the quality sucks, so I want to know, do you get all the actual parts, down to the crush washers on Amazon or from Toyota??? Also really appreciate your videos

Quick question....Does a RWD 5th Gen limited 4runner have a transfer case fluid to be drained and filled ? I have a 2014 Limited

In my books that came with my 4runner, none of them give the fluid types/weights or torque specs for drain/fill plugs. Where are you finding this info? Ive looked on Amazon for a service manual for 5th gen 4runners and cannot find one. Thanks for your videos, they are great!

Just did this today but I noticed the fill plug made a hissing noise when I was loosening it. Is this normal?

Thanks for the writeup. I have to say, I am not a fan of the Redline MT-LV fluid. I noticed right away that the truck became very grabby on tight turns. Mine is a Limited so I don't know if the full time AWD uses a different system or not, but I am not too pleased with the results. By the way, this was the first fluid change on the vehicle which just turned 105K miles. Both diffs and transfer case had good looking fluid coming out. Nothing burnt. Almost felt like a waste of time to do the service, were it not for the silver toothpaste I cleaned off the drain plugs.

Hey love your videos. Been doing a lot of these maintenance items with them. Recently did the transfer case. I notice a vibration between 20-30 mph when driving lower speed like residential. Seems to have gotten worse following t-case change. Not noticeable on faster acceleration. I also have limited. Wondering if this could be transmission or maybe too little fluid added to transfer case. Any thoughts ?

hi...nice video...i just want to know how many bottles you've used on all differential oil change...tnx

I ordered the crush washer pack you linkee and noticed the washers that are similar size to the existing ones arent technically crush washers but flat washers- i used these, is this an issue?

Thanks again!!!

Great video

Thanks. Great instructional vid. BTW, the link to the Red Line MT-LV redirects to an Amazon product page that's selling MT-LV for $39 a quart, which is a ripoff. Not your fault. There's another Amazon product page selling MT-LV for under $24 a quart. If you can, please change your link.

Would it be ok if I use redline 75w85 Gl-5 for the transfer case as well?

Can i use this on my automatic tacoma 4x4 offroaf transfer case?

@t4rgarage - Thank you for your videos. Just watched both for the Transfer case and Front/Rear diffs and just ordered everything to change all the fluids. Thank you.

A little off topic...I'm looking to replace the pads and rotors on my 21 TRD OR...any recommendations? Thanks.

Your videos are super helpful! Just did my differentials and transfer following your videos, thank you! Are you going to be doing any other flushes like coolant and power steering?

looks like you only needed 1 quart ? correct me if Im wrong Im getting ready to order and would rather only get what I need , thank you.

Does transfer case takes the same fluid as differential?

How many quarts will I need? 2 quarts ?

Are the crush washers the same for the transfer case and differentials?

The link in the description is different from the product used in the video. Can you double check?

Great vid! Thanks! Anyone know the part #'s for the transfer case drain and fill plugs? Mine are getting corroded, so I'd like to replace them. TIA!

Hi, do you have the part # for the 2 washers?

Thank you for your videos. So is this only for 4wd models? Mine 4Runner is read 2WD.

Is it M18 Crush washers ?

How often do you do this?

I wonder if just 1 bottle of the oil would be fine. Being that it's about $50 a bottle and you only used a little bit of the 2nd bottle, this would cut your cost about half.

Thx ❤

When I clicked on the link for the fluid it gave me a different fluid. Says 75w85 gl-5 for hypoid limited slip differentials. I already bought it, my fault for not paying attention to the label you had on your video

How often should I change my underwear? My wife says now, but I think I can go another 20 thousand.

I got a 2020 4Runner SR5. It is a part-time AWD and manual says it needs 1.1qt of oil. So I need two bottles. hmmmmm

Yeaaaaahhh budddaayyyy

You should hold the torque on the bolt for around six seconds. Old mechanics always do

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oPHNLLP6z88.html Not sure you have to use the Red Line ($50/ quart) or the overpriced OEM can of fluid($90). In this video a Toyota Master Tech uses gear oil (AmsOil or Lucas) in all 3 (front diff, rear diff, and transfer case) on a Tacoma(yes I know it's not a 4 runner but they have the same parts essentially). After watching a crap load of videos the general consensus I see is that it's OK to use gear oil in the transfer case. AmsOil and Valvoline gear oil come in the flexible containers and are running between $15-$22 a quart. Much cheaper than the $50 Red Line. FYI.

😂😂😂 smells like a tequila,for me smells like a rotten eggs
