One thing to add is to ALWAYS make sure you can remove the fill plug before you touch the drain plug. Draining fluid that you cannot refill is going to make you have a very bad day!!

Tip... order GX460 fill and drain plugs. They have 14mm head to use a socket vs the allen.

@jeremychrist Год назад

Appreciate the walkthrough! I’ve watched many videos on 5th gen 4Runner front and rear differential fluid changes and your how-to video has been the most detailed, including the list of crush washers, tools, and differential oil part numbers. Thank you!

@chrisleahy847 3 месяца назад

Just did front/rear diff and transfer case fluid. Had ur video playing the whole time helping me through. Really appreciate your videos and I use them all the time. Thx for all your help!

@jono7248 Год назад

Best video so far. I hate when most people say "make sure not to over fill" lol. Just fill till it comes out and wait till it stops.

@pkmzeta Год назад

Thank you for making a great video! Good angles, clear, and to the point!

@mattfredericks5999 7 месяцев назад

Another awesome maintenance vid. My first change at 60k (second owner) and I don't think it had ever been done. Drain bolts were on tight, watch your knuckles! Pump for rear will take some time, find a tune with a good beat and get pumping. Thanks again

2 thumbs up to you and your channel! We have 3 5th gen 4 runners in our family and my jaw dropped when I was given an estimate for transfer/diff oil changes! I found your channel and your video was outstanding! I’ve changed the above fluids on my 2 4 runners and will help my son with vehicle. Thanks so much for doing this and saving money for us do it your selfers!

Really good video

@thedrace 11 месяцев назад

Great vid, helped alot. You must have a lift on yours, because I bought the torque wrench you have linked and I couldn't use it to tighten the front diff fill plug, it would hit the floor right when resistance would start. Had to buy a smaller 1/4 one and put adapters on it. Also the part #90430-24003 my dealer could not find and gave part #90430-24017.

@P4X1279 Год назад

Nice video! I use a different trick to get the fluid in using my compact compressor. Get some small diameter clear tube and drill a slightly smaller hole in the bottle cap. Has to be a tight fit. Run the hose thru the cap long enough to reach the bottom of the bottle. Then put a basketball inflator needle on your air hose and poke it thru the side of the bottle (above the fluid level). Set the regulator to low and pressurize the bottle. When fluid starts to overflow the fill plug, just yank the needle out of the bottle.

@T4Rgarage Год назад

That’s a neat trick!

@P4X1279 Год назад

@T4R Garage thanks. cheaper than buying a pump and you just trash the hose when you are done. Don't have to worry about getting gear oil contamination in your transfer case by sharing a pump.

@ifern4545 Год назад

As I'm watching your video, seating at de Toyota dealer, they are doing the differential service on my 2015 4Runner, just realized I got robbed. They charging me 545.00 for oil change + differential service, wowwww.

@T4Rgarage Год назад

Sorry to hear that. I do it myself because it’s cheaper and I don’t trust the dealer to do it right or use the best product

@VA7AYG Год назад

Just Toyota oil diff and trans case and washers cost me 500cad. That’s not bad price I’d say

@marvinyoung2064 4 месяца назад

This…I’m currently at the dealer waiting for this service to be done on my ‘22 4Runner. I’ve barely had it a year but I'm pretty sure it was previously a rental and more than likely not properly maintained. I wish I was more mechanically inclined. Maybe once this thing gets older I'll start tinkering with the minor things.

@miguela10633 11 месяцев назад

Can you buy the crush washers at an autozone and what size are they.?

Toyota 4 runner 5 gen 2015 2WD has transfer case ? Thanks a lot

@boyscout6566 Месяц назад

Just did the differentials and the transfer case at 60k miles. The rear diff fluid appeared muddy, the front diff fluid appeared decent and good for at least another 30k but the transfer case fluid looked brand new.

@chrishernandez7623 Месяц назад

For anyone without a lift and doing it in there driveway(not paved just rocks) it was a tight squeeze when doing the front and I’m only 150 pounds 😂 I got it done but man was it a little rough took me 1 hour 30 mins front and back

Here’s a question, anyone know the part number for the rear differential vent/breather for a 5th gen? 2018 if it matters

Awesome,detailed video! Are you planning to install front differential drop kit?

@T4Rgarage Год назад

Thank you! If I eventually lift higher than 3” I will

@geeeandy Год назад

I was told by my local toyota dealership when i was picking up the crush washers that they recommended me to use 75W90 instead of 75w85 due to the "extreme" weather swings where I live in montana. I was curious to understand if that is a valid and I will not damage my car.

@T4Rgarage Год назад

A lot of people use 75W90 as it’s cheaper and easier to find. I wanted to go with a quality synthetic at the exact weight that Toyota recommends. Both will work great though 👍🏼

@TheHispanicBatman 8 месяцев назад

Where'd you snag the Wild Renfrew hoodie? Do they sell them at the little shop as you come into town? Been looking around whenever I'm up there lol.

@T4Rgarage 8 месяцев назад

They have a small gift shop by the pier behind the pub that sells them. Think it was like $75

@plamendobrev5416 Год назад

Great video. Did you also do the transfer case as well?

@T4Rgarage Год назад

Thank you! Yes, I have a video for that one as well

@gskills Год назад

I've changed my diff fluids / transfer case fluids. One thing I want to figure out is how to change the transmission fluid. In terms of redline fluids. Lordco has it they had to ship it from the warehouse

@T4Rgarage Год назад

I bought some from Lordco as well 👍🏼 Next video will be Transfer case then I’ll be doing the transmission

@andrzejzie7046 4 месяца назад

What is the part number for the washer of the fill plug in front? I assume that the both plugs in the rear would be also the same. I have 4Runner 2022. Great video. Thank you.

@T4Rgarage 4 месяца назад

The part numbers are in the description of the video. Thank you

@rickharrison6969 5 месяцев назад

Curious if this is the same for limiteds? I changed the front, rear diffs and transfer case and almost feel like there is some resistance at low speed on turns where before the change I never noticed that. Is this normal?

@T4Rgarage 5 месяцев назад

It’s the exact same for limiteds. Make sure you aren’t in 4HL

@strikerbrown8395 4 месяца назад

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. 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?

@T4Rgarage 4 месяца назад

As long as you filled it up to the fill plug you should be good 👍🏼 It’s pretty much impossible to overfill as long if the vehicle is level. I wouldn’t worry about it

@strikerbrown8395 4 месяца назад

Thanks!@@T4Rgarage

@GG-un5wk Год назад

Thanks for an other great video. Sorry if this sounds obvious but I have a lot to learn and just want to make sure but since my SR5 is a rear-wheel drive, I only have to worry about the rear differential right? I should not have front differential. And another question. Do I really need a torque wrench? I don’t own and never used one. Thank you for your help!!

@T4Rgarage Год назад

Yes, you will only have the rear differential to worry about, so only 3 quarts of fluid. I would highly recommend a torque wrench but you might be able to get away without it 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just don’t over tighten or leave it too loose

@GG-un5wk Год назад

@@T4Rgarage thank you. I’ll get one and learn how to use it. Till next video 👍

@GG-un5wk Год назад

@@T4Rgarage Hi there, so I just replaced the oil and used a torque wrench. So easy thx to you. I used the 3 quarts but I didn’t get any overflow of oil like on your video 🤔. I measured the amount of oil that I drained out and got 2 3/4 of oil ( by the way it was dark brown looks like never got changed). Do you know if the 3 quarts is standard for all 4Runners? I’m wondering if I should add more oil until overflows. Thank you for your help!

@BroBob1254 8 месяцев назад

Excellent! Under normal conditions how often do you change it?

@T4Rgarage 8 месяцев назад

30-40k miles is a good interval for normal conditions

@mattfredericks5999 7 месяцев назад

21 lb for engine and trans skid plate

@morpheus1818 Год назад

I think the flat side of the crush washer should sit against the bolt head rather than against the differential housing. But I've seen differing opinions about this. What do you think?

@T4Rgarage Год назад

I would just look at how it was placed from factory when you take it off and replicate that. I don’t know if it makes a difference

@morpheus1818 Год назад

@@T4Rgarage Thanks.

@djandyg_la Год назад

I'm curious, what year is your 5th gen? Seen a few different videos that use different torque specs..

@ian0841 Год назад

Why do you recommend 1/2" drive for the hex socket and 24mm socket as opposed to 3/8" drive?

@T4Rgarage Год назад

3/8” works as well. The drain plug and fill can be on there pretty good requiring a breaker bar. I just said 1/2” as my torque wrench is 1/2” and breaker bar are 1/2” to handle additional torque needed
