The AC conversation with the mechanic had me laughing 😅. I will be watching your 4 parts video until I can be able to explain everything like your explanation and ensure I'm not being fooled around by the mechanics in my country 🙌 Appreciate your videos very much 🙏
Winter driving tip. The A/C pull moisture out of the air. It will clear up your windows faster and better than your defroster. You can increase the heat while running the A/C to stay warm and clear your windows.
Very good advice! Will do a video on that soon actually! A lot of people don’t know this!
@@TheCarCareNut You rock! I look forward to seeing it.
The Air Conditioning should automatically turn on when the defrost setting is selected.
You can also open your windows and disable recirculation. The dry air will help defrost your windows quicker.
@@jakeaustin9894 If you have techsteam you can turn the defroster settings to manual, which doesn’t enable the A/C. I did this because sometimes it just ends up condensing on the outside of my windshield
God bless you my brother. I just bought a 2021 Tacoma and your knowledge will help me. May the lord bless you!
Replace your wipers with PIAA Super Silicone wipers. They are silent and they last for years. The silicone blades are much more resistant to UV rays. They cost more but they last for so long. I'm not associated with PIAA but I am a happy customer!
You know, I've heard this before. One day I will try them.
thank scottykilmer
I found trico beam style blades to last long and are roughly $20 a pair. Been using them for years with no issues
Those silicon wipers tend to squeak after a while
@@AdolfHitler-si3ze i haven't had the PIAAs squeak. I usually get 3 years out of them before they start to lose their wipe clarity. I do hate a squeaky windshield wiper!
Original factory wipers with replaceable rubber inserts can be bought from Denso under their Denso Designer series for half the price of the dealer. It is the same exact factory installed part if yours are missing. Also, the same exact A/C refresh kit can be bought from Subaru for half the cost: Subaru P/N SOA868V9315.
Good info thanks Jacob!
Just looked on Denso's website and they don't sell wipers for my 2017 Camry. So maybe not the only brand Toyota uses?
These videos are MUST SEE for ALL car users, not only Toyota/Lexus! AMD, you are doing amazing job! Thank you so much!!!! Legend!!!
I wish I had seen this video about a month ago. I finally broke down and bought wiper replacements for my 17 Tacoma and 14 4 Runner. I used to buy inserts for my older Tacoma (12). Since the last time I bought inserts I got a different truck and I moved. I went to TOYOTA in my new town and asked the parts guy specifically for inserts. Not the whole blade. He told me that the inserts were just as expensive as getting a whole new replacement unit. He sold me those things you just said not to buy. I changed the wipers on my truck with no issues. One of the wipers for the 4 Runner was to long. The wife took it to the dealer to swap it out. Which they did. They also changed the unit out on the car. BUT they threw away the original wiper. Now I have a spare set of housing for my truck and one original for the 4 Runner. I just checked the cost of the inserts. They are half the cost of what I paid. I know. I should have done that first. Little things like that make me avoid the dealership like the plague. Nothing on you. I just hate high presser salesmen trying to replace my blinker fluid. Im not knocking anyone that works as a mechanic at a dealership. They are not the problem. Love the channel by the way!
Just changed the front & rear diff fluid as well as transfer case fluid in my wife’s 4Runner. I was shocked at how dirty the rear diff fluid was (43,000 miles). This 4Runner is a pavement queen, my wife only drives around town ,few trips never pulled anything and only been in 4 wheel drive a few times. Transfer case and front diff looked new but the rear was awful. So take his advise and change your fluid at 30,000 miles. Great advise from a pro. Thanks
Thanks I went and got the wiper inserts. The parts guy asked how did I know about the wiper inserst. Flat out told him to start following the mastermind and subscribe because you will learn a lot too. Thanks again
My local dealer said they don't make inserts, but they sell the sightlines one. Do you have a part number for these? I have a 2018 Tacoma. Thanks
@@chrisb6866 I was also told I had to buy the whole arm for my 2019 lx570. No inserts made for this model.
Exactly, Most Toyota AC last as long as 20 years unless we live in a very hot climate where the rubber gaskets start leaking. Replacing all these gaskets, vacuum, and charge the right amount of refrigerant. Cabin filters must be cleaned regularly/yearly.
cabin filters in Florida are replaced every 4-6 months on my car.
I have an appointment with my Toyota dealership for a 30k oil change for my 2019 Land Cruiser. After watching this video, I am definitely going to have them change both differentials and the transfer case fluids! I found this site just in the nick of time. I’m geeking out on it, too! Mary. Reno, NV
HA! I had the same reaction to those Toyota Sightline wipers! I bought a pair at the dealer for my Tacoma and, holy crap, didn't last probably 6-months before they needed replacements!!!
AMD my new master Toyota teacher I’ve spent this morning going through modules one to four on Toyota maintenance series. Can you please send me my certificate of completion…! 😂 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Have an 07 base tacoma, had dealer do trans and radiator flush at 30k, will try myself at 60k miles now that I found these videos!
I wish I found this channel earlier !!
I love these videos. I do a lot of RUclips searching for 4Runner maintenance videos, but they're all here in one place. This is one of my favorite channels. Keep it up!
I changed my differential fluid on my 2010 Tacoma at 80,000 miles and it looked as clean as the day it went in.
Was that the Rear diff fluid?
Just when I thought there was nothing to learn about wipers! You're the best, thanks for all the amazing information!
Your right my original wipers were awesome, and then I got those sight lines, I thought I just got a bad set. Just ordered the inserts. Thanks
My local dealer said they don't make inserts, but they sell the sightlines. Do you have a part number for these? I have a 2018 Tacoma. Thanks
I am very happy that I found you a few months ago, I do not like to write too much. I have recorded a lot of your videos, I have a Scion Xb 2015 with 60 K miles (purchased brand new, my wife has a 2014 Scion Xb with 80 K miles (purchased used) and both have the throttle dirty problem, with the idle speed goes as low as 400 RPM some times. I remember in your video you said "if the battery is disconnected the car will die a few hours later and that happened when I changed her car's battery. I was thinking to take the car to the dealer but thanks to you, I do not have to. I have a scanner, the cars have no codes. This Friday, I am going to clean the plate on my Scion. I purchased throttle body gaskets (because I was going to take the throttle body out of the car and cleaning it, (unfortunately, I am a perfectionist), but first I will try your way. I found the Toyota Plate Cleaner on eBay, but is smaller 4 OZ can, I placed 2 orders (thinking buying 2 cans, but each order were of 3 cans), so I have enough until I die. You are very honest, knows what you talking about, and I thank you very much.
This video was really useful. I wish if I saw it before Jeffy Lube rip me. And tell me that the whole windshield assembly has to be replaced for $99. . At the time I did not know any better and let them do it to pass the inspection. but now I will walk out if they don't give me Toyota inserts.
Interestingly enough my new windshield wipers don't wipe as good as the old ones lol.
Great videos for us Toyota owners. I bought a new 2005 Camry LE and after I bought my new 2020 LE ...I sold my lovable 2005. I owned that car for 15 years and 218,000 miles. I never had to touch that AC...in 15 years! So...if it still works and is "blowing cold"...no need to do anything to it. He is telling the absolute truth.
You were doing every Toyota owner of wonderful service! Thank you!
God I am watching these non-stop from part 1 to this one and I really enjoy it. I recently bought and replaced all the wipers of my Corolla 2012, using the prefill ones from the dealership. I kept the arms as you said sir as I know they are great quality ( I learnt from my experience). The thing is that the prefill wipers from the dealers are only $5 more than the after markets ones...I bought them with the spark plugs and air filters saving me the trip driving around 🤘
Love your straight forward ness and honesty!!
Thank you!
Thanks I just bought a 2017 4 runner with 81,000 miles on it. Im going to go to the dealer for a safety check. I appreciate all your great advice.
Thank you, AMD, for sharing your experience . There are so many people that allow themselves to be victims of a corrupt system due to lack of education. Thanks for helping to prevent this.
It is refreshing to have learned about the wiper inserts; I thout this was extinct like the oil bath air cleaner and "hand break".
I remember as a youngster and subsequently teen driver, full service gas stations where one get new wiper inserts installed while the cavernous gas tank was filled all for about $20 including a pop and maybe a Snickers.
Thanks for the tips presented in a clear and concise manner. Blessings to you.
Great clarification on when to use Toyota parts, and when it's ok to go aftermarket
After having gone through several of your videos, I am learning how my local dealership has been ripping me off. I always nodded yes to their laundry list of to-do things every 5000 miles I took my vehicle there for maintenance. And how one time, they didn't even change my engine oil cause they said the color is good and Toyota can comfortably run for 10,000 miles without needing an oil change. I am furiously looking around for workshops that give basic car maintenance training for car noobs like me so these local dealerships don't rip me off next time. Next time, I am going to ask them to change just my engine oil and tire rotation, that's it.
Outstanding information.
Thank you for your honesty and simple training videos.
We continue to follow you to learn.
You are awesome! Have a '19 Highlander, that our "Toyota Care" package is now expired. Glad I found your channel as I start doing the maintenance myself. I was a sucker for the "service tech's recommended maintenance" beyond my own experience. Great to hear it from the person who does the work and knows what they are talking about vs the guy trying to make some extra money getting me to pay for something not needed.
I have a Chevy and I enjoy watching your videos. The same things apply. Back in the day all the windshield wipers were inserts.
Holy God, God bless you. You have given us every trick Toyota has under the hand
The wipers that you are recommending look exactly like the ones that are on my Lexus LS460, and they are very well made and do a great job of clearing the windshield. The Lexus forums agree with you that these are the best.
Mobil Synthetic 75w90 LS for front and rear differentials. Mobil Delvac 75w90 for the transfer case. We have 362K miles on our 2014 4Runner SR5 and 30K on our 2023 ORP.
If your looking for wiper blades Bosch Icon for wipers is my go to they have never disappointed I put them on all my cars.
I replaced my stock wipers with PIAA silicone wipers that were practically same style with the cover and aero look. They work pretty good and have lasted almost at least 5 years.
Where can I find these wipers for each of my cars. I want to replace them on all my vehicles.
@@junior17medval are you asking about PIAA wipers? Amazon or Tire rack have them.
@@boostedmaniac yeah I’m looking for silicone wipers since even Scotty Kilmer recommends these types of wipers.
@@junior17medval make sure you get the wiper blades and not just refills. The refills might not fit the stock blades.
@@junior17medval same here
Thank you for all of your input. I got my son looking at your channel. We both have Toyotas and there are few few other cars that I would want. You are very much appreciated. May the Lord bless and keep you too.
Great video yet again! Wow that wiper info really surprised me... Will be sure to go by the dealership for some inserts! Thanks
Amedeo Bafadl I’m glad I could help! You can sometimes get the original inserts cheaper online! Always shop around. Email if you need part no’s
@@TheCarCareNut Do you have a part number for those original wiper inserts ? because I just ask my local dealer and they dont have it.
I would need the vin number for that. You can go to parts.Toyota.com enter your vin and search for wiper rubber and it will come up
This is awesome! I see so many different answers when searching the correct grease for your driveshaft. Could you do a video on that please?
God bless you too, sir
Thank you for making this video! Very Informative
Thanks for doing these videos. There is one more requirement when it comes to gear lube - API GL-4 or GL-5. My 2004 Tundra manual transmission requires GL-4 to prevent corrosion of soft metals. My Tundra requires GL-5 in the rear dif. The transfer case and front dif can use either GL-4 or GL-5. I use royal purple synthetic because it works for both GL-4 and GL-5.
Another lubrication issue are drivelines. My front driveshaft has four zerk fittings and my rear has seven. I use synthetic grease for my drivelines.
Our previous vehicle, a 2011 Sienna had some of 5he best windshield wipers I’ve ever used in over 40 years of driving. Our climate here is on the rainy side. ( around 150-200 days a year with precipitation ) . Those OEM Sienna wipers lasted almost 4 years without a chirp or a streak. I replaced them just because, with the blade inserts and those also lasted almost 4 years. The 2017 Highlander we bought after trading in the Sienna had good wipers for about 3 years. When I went to the dealership to try 5o buy inserts the service guy said they don’t make them anymore but they have Toyota branded full blade replacements that are reasonably priced. These wipers are pretty good but don’t last more than 2 years before streaking and “ flopping”. Since I threw out the OEM blades I can’t just replace the rubber inserts. The rear wiper blade is extremely easy to change if you understand the process. I was pumping gas and 5he lady on the other side of the gas pump was looking at her rear wiper blade that had the rubber coming apart. She told me the dealership said they would replace it on her next oil change. I showed her how to do it herself and probably save a few bucks.
God bless you Mr. Teacher. I worried about my a/c in my car. It works fine. It's a 2017 Toyota Camry and this November i'll have it for 7 yrs. I worry thinking about making it colder but it works fine. If its not broken dont fix it. You have solved my worry problems.
I still have my original wipers on my 17 Tundra w/ 37000 miles. Works perfect. But I clean it every two months and wax my windshield.
Top quality videos, advice and personality. Just purchased first toyota and loving the honest good and bad of each vehicle. Video series on Tundra 5.7 please!
Thanks! That’s coming up in the near future! 07-20 tundra buying guide and common problems!
Will you do one for the Sequoia too? I understand they share a lot of parts with the Tundra. With normal driving, no towing, or off road use. Would you still suggest 5K oil changes even though they approved the 10k intervals for the non flex fuel 5.7L?
The sequoia is on the list but there’s quite a few videos before it so it will come in the future. I would still do the 5k oil changes.
Thank you Sir.I appreciate it 😎
As a tech who works at a Toyota dealership, I 100% agree about the sight line wipers. They look pretty but they skip and streak and make noise. I got a pair on my Corolla that they gave me when I bought the car, they are garbage. Once they tear I’ll be putting some Bosch wipers on. My Lexus appears to still have OEM wipers so I’ll think about putting inserts on those, because they are very good wipers.
I can get 80W-90 gear oil from my local Toyota dealership in Regina, SK for $7 a litre. I just give them a container and they fill it up from their bulk container. Great deal. Also, never knew about the air conditioning power foam, I might have to try that, because it smells a bit bad when I turn on the A/C for the first few times in the summer
A tip I learned is to turn off the A/C approximately 5 minutes before you arrive at your destination to help dry out the HVAC vents, to prevent mold buildup. Never had an issue on my 99 dodge intrepid or my 16 Corolla 👌
@@christophervanzetta this answers literally the question that I was thinking for the entire day🤣 my corolla has a slight musty smell and I was wondering how to dry the vents a bit
All my cars in the past smelled really really bad and I I would have to use those ac bombs , which got pricey every 60 days . I have found on my new car it automatically turns on recirculation as soon as car starts . Now that my car is 3 years old and 37,000 miles on it I have done this since day one 2 mins before I turn car off I just turn the ac off and keep the air blowing and when I don't need the extra power of the recirculation I turn it off and my car smells just like the day I bought it. It's really cool how everyone one can share and we all learn something .
Awesome channel! Talking about older Toyota models a huge plus and newer models.
About the Tacoma with limited slip differential. The Liqui Moly website mentioneds for this vechicle limited slip requires 75w-140 gear oil. I'm concerned because its GL-5 like you mentioned.
I could show you the pictures but like you mentioned you recommend the 75W from Toyota. This Liqui Moly lifetime fluids the reason why I asked.
For the limited slip as long as it specifically states that it’s for limited slip diffs then you’re good
I'm so glad I found your channel today. Thank you for taking your time out to make these videos. I really appreciate it.
Hands down best videos on RUclips
Good tip on the differential oil. I'm going to check right now on when my Sequoia's was last changed. i tow a trailer so that must make this more critical. I bought some high priced wipers (Michelin?) and good God, they chatter and screech SOOOO bad!
So glad I found your channel, great videos. I'm still running the same diff fluids in my 06 Lexus GX470 with 155K, same timing belt too. Owners manual says no need to change fluid unless in dusty conditions or alot of towing...vehicle never been off road or in 4 wheel drive for that matter...yeah its a babied "soccer mom" truck that has always stayed in the garage since new and well care for by yours truly following the factory service intervals. Agree with you on using factory parts if at all possible--you'll always have the right part using OEM! Will be watching many more of your videos.
Better get hopping with that timing belt change or you will be VERY sorry!
Your the best thank you again and god bless 🙏🏼
You're
FYI for folks: I have a 2006 Tacoma 4x4 and I use Mobile 1 75w-90 LSD oil in the rear differential with good success in case this helps anybody. It seems to last a long time too. If people think this is a bad idea, please feel free to reply. The Toyota wiper inserts are excellent.
Is that sae or synthetic?
Also, is that a sport or off road?
Synthetic is a no no - Toyota LS diff uses conventional
@@GatesRapes yeah, I ended up going 80w-90 valvoline high performance with a tube of trans-x posi-trac limited slip additive. So far so good. I’m assuming the op didn’t have a limited slip diff.
One through five the best videos on RUclips!💕👍
I've had to use that foam to get rid of moldy AC smell once and have never had the issue since. This happened around the time I bought the vehicle around 2013 or so.
This is a great and very informative channel, thanks for posting the videos.
My go to guy for all things Toyota
Thank you for all this great information.
Thanks again, always enjoy these !
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
I just changed my transmission fluid and filter on my 2015 rav 4 and since I have a 2021 tundra… I made a investment in
Four rhino ramps and I drive all the tires up on all four at the same time. The thought of being under a car on jack stands scare
Me this is like a mini lift that enables access to rear diff transfer and trans pan. I only use two to change engine oil.
The four rhino ramps work great on trucks and suv and aS a DYI mechanic on my vehicles. I have a Corolla hatchback manual on order
So I will be a three Toyota family. You should consider demonstrating the four rhino ramp concept keeps the vehicle level
I cleaned my air conditioner ductswith Lysol spray and then hung a sock with carpet fresh deorderizer near the intake of the AC After a week everything was great.
AMD, I think the most important part of differentials you need to perhaps enlighten users is the LSD vs NON LSD options. I know all oils today have LSD additives wether you have a LSD differential or not, but for those who are thinking of using a NON LSD gear lube, your explanation will be appreciated.
I’ve used Lysol spray it at the base of the windshield at the air intake with the fan on high and it works well.
I enjoy every video,I watch all the time.
I changed my dodge ram Differential oil at 40 K and it was clear as regular oil. I was surprised how clean it was. No wear o gears at all. Went back with Royal Purple . How lottle I drive will be good for another 10 years.
Damn. I threw my stock wipers away..... didn't know they had insert replacements
Do you think the salesmen know about them. Or intentionally don't say anything so for people like me toss the whole thing and have to pay alot more to replace
As always, great information!
Your Video are FREAKIN AWESOME! TOTAL 100% TRUTH!!!!
Differential and Transfer Case Fluids:
Trucks (4Runner, Tacoma, Tundra, etc.): Replace differential and transfer case fluids every 30,000 miles.
All-wheel drive cars and SUVs (Rav4, Camry, Highlander, etc.): Replace rear differential fluid every 30,000 miles; front transfer case fluid around 60,000 miles.
Use aftermarket gear oil, not necessarily Toyota-branded oil, for cost savings.
Wiper Blades:
Avoid purchasing Toyota-branded wipers; they may not provide the best performance.
Consider buying high-quality wiper inserts from the dealership for better performance.
Inserts are cost-effective and can be easily replaced.
Air Conditioning (AC) Maintenance:
Recharging or refreshing your AC is not necessary if it's working well and blowing cold air.
AC issues arise mainly from leaks or damage, not just from routine use.
Moldy or foul-smelling AC can be addressed with AC refresh kits, available at Toyota dealerships.
AC refresh kits are simple to use and can help eliminate moldy odors.
Regularly check and replace the cabin air filter to ensure clean airflow.
Remember that proper vehicle maintenance should align with your car's condition and manufacturer recommendations. Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific maintenance intervals and guidelines.
Thank you so much. Couple questions that I always love to ask every great tech I meet, if you don’t mind (or maybe a video suggestion 😉)
1) What cars(s) do you own personally?
2) If someone gifts you with lifetime purchase/maintenance expenses, what dream car would you drive?
Thank you for watching! On my personal cars you know one of them is a money pit. The other one is my “toy” car if you would which is featured in one tool review I did. And my dream car would be a Toyota 2000gt or Mercedes 300sl gullwing
@@TheCarCareNut Thank you for sharing!!
75w 90w oil good for both TC and both differentials on a Gx460. Thank you will wait on response to buy.
Yes it’s good. We’ve used that on various cars and has no issues.
I agree the Sight lines are not that great. I tried them once and did not like them. I stick with the OEM wipers and as they track over the windshield better and much cleaner. They are definitely the better wiper. I change them annually because of my OCD with having a clean windshield. Btw, I have several OEM wiper blade bodies.
Excellent as always. Take care of your Toyota !
Thanks first for being a man of God who represents Christ well.
I learned a long time ago that wipers are seriously important and OEM was the only way to go. Bosch blades would work in a bind, but the cost now is such that there is no saving money with off brands anymore. With Bosch there are so many variants that the one you need is not the cheap one in Walmart. There are 8-10 Bosch blades and there are real differences. On top of that, they sell them by marketing names and not by engineering decision making information. Actually off brands could be 1, 2, 5, or even 10 dollars cheaper but why risk your own health and safety buy using wipers that my smear, streak, or otherwise fail to perform when needed. When needed means that your visibility is reduced and you need a clear windscreen. Why risk injury to yourself or others for a few dollars?
On a 17 Tundra I found (2) sets of OEM blades to be noisy early on. I switched to Bosch Icons and they seem to work better.
For my ac I will spray the coil with evaporator coil foam then rinse with water. Just a spray bottle. The condenser I rinse with water hose . If the ac is cold I don't put gauges on it. I just make sure discharge line is not too hot. It's not hard to do and clean coils are happy coils
Thank you very much!!!
It’s a really good idea to change wipers insert part only. I did it for my rear wiper. Price for wiper in dealership was $30 but price for inserts was only $9. I changed it myself for 2 minutes 🇨🇦
Great video and very educational. How often should power steering fluids be changed? Do you recommend only using Toyota brand fluids?
I just got an 06 highlander with 300k, the dealer service book steps are completely signed off.
Every oil was black, I had to replace the previously replaced power steering line also.
The transmission filter was a giant pita. I had to grind a through socket to get 1 bolt. 3 others tested my tool collection.
The tranny filter was the biggest improvement. It looked clogged and collapsed. A weird shift was fixed with amsoil and a car quest filter.
I still have a weird road noise, I’ll continue to investigate brakes and wheel bearings until I find cheap used tires to replace Yokohamas in case it is tire caused.
Edit, someone gave me a raincoat wiper set. Bosch icon is in my future
I would appreciate, to make a video about transmission fluid, on 3rd gen tacoma.. the proper way, you know oil still remains in the converter..
Toyota 86!!! RWD with LSD. I changed mine at 30k. I went with Motul fluid
My gosh, watching these videos is like eating McDonald's "I'm Lovin It!" I'm learning so much, 2 different oem pads, oem wipers with inserts. I got stuck buying those cheapo wipers that I thought were OEM because they have Toyota stamped on them!!
AMD
Great video
I love your straight forward… Honest … hard to find this now days 👍🏻
Thanks for this, loving the videos! I'd love to see the gear oil changed in the 2020 Corolla Hatchback. I own the 6mt version. Thanks again!
jdinn32 thank you! When I get one to service I’ll film it. In the meantime it’s really simple. Locate the drain and fill plugs. Then take them both out. Install the drain plug then fill through the fill plug until it overflows then close it and you’re done.
@@TheCarCareNut alright thank you so much! Is aftermarket fine or should I just stick with Toyota's? Redline makes a 75w lv and Redline made my former 2015 Mazda 3 6mt shift much better. Can't say it would be better than the Toyota gear oil, but I do wonder.
Any fluid with the right weight and specification will work in the case of the manual transmission.
@@TheCarCareNut good deal thank you!
You’re welcome
I work at a Toyota dealership and put oem Toyota wiper blades on my Honda CR-V.
That is another super useful video. Many thanks and God Bless You.
dunno.... in MN with the harsh winter and even summers I needed to use Michelin Stealth XT Premium Hybrid Wiper Blades to extend the life of the wipers
Miller's Oil still makes the 90w GL-5 diff. oil for LS400s. Amazon used to stock it, maybe still does. Inexpensive. Checked with Lexus of NA and they recommended against substituting 80-90w synthetic in my '98. No evidence that mine had ever been changed. Fluid looked almost new and no debris at all on the magnet!!!! That's another example of Lexus quality.
So I’m not sure how to email you so here it goes, I have a 2010 tundra limited Crewmax, I’m probably suffer from OCD when it comes to my truck maintenance…in this video you mention the Tacoma that NEEDS to use the LSD Toyota rear diff. Oil….my tundra has LSD, even has a button to shut it off….is this the oil I should be using on mine as well?…only changed it once at 50k I used a Amsoil product, need to change it again but want to make sure I’m not causing damage by using anything other then the Toyota LSD oil.
Thanks and keep up the good work, your shop looks amazing.
AMD, interesting commentary on Sightline wipers. In my experience with Sightlines they last much longer than most equivalent aftermarket wipers. I can get almost 2 years out of a set of Sightlines, cleaning the wiper strip periodically with alcohol. I know it is time to replace them when they start to chatter but the performance of Sightlines has been outstanding for me. To each his own I guess. Onto a different topic - for the GL-5 do you have a preference for synthetic or non-syn, does it matter and when would you use one over the other? As always, thanks so much!
Do you know of anyway to look up the part # for the better wipers? Both dealers near me only carry the sightline wipers and insist that’s my only option. 2013 Tundra. Thank you and thanks for the great content!
This guy is gold! I have a question. I just bought a 2018 highlander v6, it has 43,000, I don't know the history on it, other than oil changes and airfilter. What do you recommend I do to get it up to snuff? I appreciate your time. I don't want to ignore anything but I don't want to do anything unnecessary as the vehicle was expensive and money is a bit thin.
Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. So at this mileage not much is due maintenance wise. At 60k miles or 6 years I would replace the transmission fluid and spark plugs and that should be it until 100k or 5 years for the engine coolant.
Thank you for a great informative video. Any recommendation of when to change transfer case oil for 5 gen 4 runner with part time 4WD. Also do you recommend using Toyota 75w transfer case LF oil. What do they use at the dealership?
Thank you for watching my videos! So I would replace the transfer case fluid in your 4Runner around 30k. Also I would use any good quality 75w90 or equivalent GL5 gear oil. At the dealership we use 75w90 full synthetic from Mobil 1 and never had a single issue over the years.
@@TheCarCareNut Thank you do much for your help.
Wow I learned alot.pls kee shareing more vidio sir
Valvoline oil for 2011 tundra transmission works much better than Toyota WS I'm using for 5 years and my transmission is very happy....
Hey Nut, I just hit 35k miles on my 20 Tundra so I asked the service guy about doing the diffs and transfer case fluids and he says they don’t do those bc Toyota doesn’t recommend. Any tips on how to handle? Thank you for all you do for simple people like us!!
Hi! Just ask them to replace the fluids. Especially the first replacement is a very good idea.
Great video. I have 2021 rav4 hybrid xle. Planning on using it for uber full time. I've watched all 5 videos on how to maintain toyota car. I'm just curious since I have hybrid. Have you made a video on how to maintain a hybrid.
Hi! Hybrids have actually less maintenance than a conventional gasoline car. Only additional item is the hybrid cooling system. Perhaps I’ll make a specific video on hybrids in the future. Thank you for watching and for your suggestion.
