I spoke to a Toyota technician and recommended this for maintenance. TACOMA MAINTENANCE Transmission fluid - every 60k miles or 6yrs Coolant flush - every 50k miles Differential and transfer case - every 30k mi Brake fluid- every 3-5 years Power steering fluid - 50-70k miles Spark plugs - 60k miles (oem plugs strongly recommend)

@jaypikachu6660 Год назад

You must spoke to a rookie, transmission fluid is lifetime but doesn’t hurt to service, coolant 100k miles, brake fluid 2 years or 30k miles.

@be891 Год назад

@JP1050x Год назад

Don’t forget to lubricate your propeller shaft every 1-2 years. Or around 15-30K miles. And more often if you tow. Most dealers miss that important piece of maintenance, and a lot of service advisors don’t even know what a propellor shaft is.

im a honda tech and this is a great video! with the transfer case and diff oil always overfill a little bit and let the excess drain till a small stream!

@wallacewalker218 Год назад

Great job, amazing videos! You can also drill a hole into the cap of the diff fluid that is the same size as your pump hose. Then slide pump hose through hole in cap, it'll help it stay in the bottom of the bottle a bit easier. Adapt and Overcome!!

@mactheknife5442 Год назад

Simple and to the point,Thanks I forgot all about the crush washer,good looking Tacoma. I just had my Tacoma Inspected at the dealership, they wanted $299 for a new serpentine belt,$350 for new plugs, $299 for rear and front diff change and heres the the topper, I tried to get my spare tire down but its locked up,rusted so i asked if they could take a look at it and give me a price well they charge 1 hour at $150 ,so all this work would be over 1 grand, to do it yourself maybe $150. These videos have saved me so much money, thanks Chloe

@kennethhamilton1513 Год назад

Great video! Thank you. Not sure if you have one mentioning to check the rear diff vent valve before? Good to make sure it's not full of dirt or seized while your underneath. It causes the axel seals to leak from to much pressure built up and the full plug will be really hard to get out. It's around $20.00 CND very easy to change and could save alot in the long run.

I still don’t know much about when it comes tacomas but all the videos that you made so far, are they tied to just a specific version of a Tacoma, like just your 2019 TRD off road, or can anything you’ve shown so far be done across all other (gen3 I think?) tacomas? Also I hope this doesn’t sound rude but I never really know which Tacoma you’re working since you have a 2019 and a 2020 so I’m always confused which ones gets worked on so if you can say which one it is, that would be great 🥲😅

I would HIGHLY recommend a plastic measuring cup from Home Depot. Pour ALL of whatever capacity in the container, clip the suction tube to the side. This avoids your individual bottles from falling over, plus the drip when you change bottles.

@TrblMaker4x4 Год назад

Funny how dealers vary on basically everything.. My current dealer charges 92 dollars per diff and that's Canadian. My previous dealer charges 150 per diff. Regardless I still plan to do myself. Form the rear, if you remove your spare tire, no only can you sit under the truck without jacking it up, you don't need a fluid pump for, just fyi. As usual, great video 🤙

@keithg3102 Год назад

Great video Chloe, couple of tips for you and your viewers... the crush washers you get comes in a kit, steel crush washers go on the rear dif. Drain & fill plugs. The front dif. Takes a steel crush washer on the fill plug and a copper crush washer goes on the drain plug. If your also changing the transfer case oil, it will use aluminum crush washers on the drain & fill plugs. Also I use a pump up style fluid transfer pump made by "Motive products power fill transfer fluids" I bought off Amazon with a ball valve shut off I added. Pour the recommended amount of oil in the tank, pump it up and turn on the ball valve, no mess no fuse. Keep up the great videos! 👍

@chloekuo Make sure to change your transfer case fluid as well. There is a specific Toyota 75W transfer case fluid you can get from sparks parts the detergents in regular gear oil can be harmful to the seals in the transfer case. 🤙🏻

@agfa663 Год назад

The Toyota oil is 75W80. They put that one so it had a little less resistance so fuel economy has a slight advantage at the governmement fuel economy restriction benchmark. It has nothing to do with the detergents. Full Synthetic 75W90 is what you need.

Appreciate the videos... DIY is a necessity in my area for my Tacoma unfortunately... First service at 5k miles went to my local Toyota dealer for an oil change (Pauly Toyota in Crystal Lake IL in case you're in the area), came back with a leaky oil filter housing since they didn't seem to seat the o-ring properly, scratched 2 of my wheels by apparently laying them face down, soaked my alternator with oil that they apparently splashed somehow when filling, and didn't properly torque my lug nuts! Both passenger side wheels had a couple nuts that were free spinning when I got home! All for a simple oil change and tire rotation. So yeah, I certainly won't be letting them touch my diff, who knows what they'll jack up.

Right now (July 2024) gen-u-wine Toyota fluid is $50 per liter, so that's a big chunk of the dealer charge. Of course, dealers use cheaper brand, bulk fluids, and still charge the same price.
