- Just a quick update on the 4Runner.
As we prepare for our vacation trip, I decided to finally give the 4Runner
some much needed TLC.
At 38k miles,
Do you think my maintenance is a little overkill?
What would you replace at 30k miles?
What is your absolute best Mpg on a long trip?

Very helpful, Paul!
If you want your 4Runner to last 200,000 miles, change your oil every 5,000 miles. If you want it to last 300,000 miles or more, change your oil every 3,000 miles. That's according to data gathered by the Car Care Nut and David from Automotive Press.
Both great RUclips channels.
Just found your channel. Very well done! Very informative!
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Toyota fluid isn’t made by Toyota and isn’t magical. 75w is for saving 0.00001mpg. Using multi-viscosity gear oil is fine in transfer case. I use Red Line 75-85w. Speced for transfer cases. No issues.
Well put my friend!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You will never have issues using that gear oil.
Redline75w85 is what I plan to use also
@machine7767 💯
Old Off-Roader here. I change my coolant based on its PH. I use a tester and when it hits 7 or less I change the coolant. Also, I do the same with my brake fluid, I use a tester for water (3% or more) and the brake fluid gets flushed and replaced. What are your thoughts? GREAT CHANNEL, always learn something!
Much appreciated sir!!
Those are great tips specially for the upcoming techs to learn how these things actually are checked/tested.
I was thought the same way, I do have the ph level gauge somewhere. Yeah water/moisture is the biggest enemy of brake fluid, other then heat.
That’s actually the only fluid that hasn’t been changed in it. Getting it done with the brake job on the next service, probably 44k miles.
@@VikingsGarage Thank you for your reply and insight. BTW, it might make for a good show to demonstrate those testers and make a recommendation where guys can buy them.
@richardstone5241 That’s actually a great idea, I appreciate you.
I don’t change any fluids besides engine oil. Top ups only.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q lol
Wow. My diff fluid looked brand new when I changed it at 50k miles.
I believe that, it usually does. It all depends on how you use your 4Runner.
Mr. Barreiro where in New Jersey is your shop located? I just bought a 2020 4Runner SR5 with 103,000. miles from a dealer and I would like to take it to you because you appear to be a very honest individual. I live in Bergenfield; NJ thank you and keep given as does great tips and info.
Got now I’m still located at Empire auto Mall.
I appreciate your support!!
Thanks for all the info,My 4Runner 77 thousand Mobil1 full synthetic I have used that Penzoil oil but at about 3500 miles I got a little later chatter,went back to mobile 1 and good till 5,000 best mileage 21.5@70 mph just did a 2200 mile trip
I’ll keep that in mind. 👍🏻
Corolla Beach?!? 🤔 Start a petition to rename it "4 Runner Beach"! 😃
I like your pre-trip regimen. Don't forget to check the pressure on the spare!
I did check it, thank you though.
Can you imagine “4Runner Beach”🏖️
Just found your page. I own a 23 4Runner TRD Off Road. 35,000 miles. Just did an oil change myself crawling on my back on the driveway. I’m guessing if I can do that, then I should be able to change the other fluids myself as well like you did in this vid?
You must certainly can. Not that hard to do.
Welcomes to the Vikings Garage family, where our main goal is save you money.
I appreciate you watching!
Love Your Channel! Keep up the good work! From: Mission Tx. 👍
🤘🏻 Much appreciated!! 🙏🏻
Great channel, very informative contents. Thanks you so much Paul 😊
Thank you for your kind words!! 🙏🏻
Hey Viking, love your videos but maybe I missed the one where you talked about the undercoating you got?
I appreciate you!!

Two questions what kind of grease should i use on the drive shaft? And when using the pump for the fluids should you have different pumps for different fluids?
I get the grease they sell at harbor freight.
Same pump for all fluids
Good morning, I have 2 questions, I paid someone that changed the 4 brakes with Nakamoto brake pads,now I have a noise when I am driving and disappear when you applied the brakes, but the dealer can’t find nothing wrong, what could it be? The other is I store my 4Runner inside my garage in Houston(very hot and humid) now is a bad smelling like something rotten but can find what is this, could be mold? Do you have a video of how to clean the AC?just guessing, if anyone has a clue please tell me, thanks in advance
I don’t really have any answers for you, I can’t diagnose vehicles over a message.
I will be doing the A/C refresh /cleaning process soon.
I just brought a 2018 Toyota Camry se with 51k from a Toyota dealer. When should a trans service be done on it. I used to be a mechanic at Toyota like over 10 yrs ago
60k miles
So your telling me I can still use the same gear oil for my transfer case like the last video…I just did yesterday 😂
👍🏻 You’ll be just fine!!
Obrigado por compartilhar essas informações! Aqui no Brasil tem a Toyota SW4 v6 4.0 que utiliza esse mesmo motor , porém elas são difíceis de achar, e vídeos sobre manutenção também não se encontra. Gosto de fazer manutenção em casa e seus vídeos vão me ajudar. Gratidão amigo!
Abração grande!! Obrigado🇧🇷🙏🏻
Love the Portugese Accent!!! I bet the women do too!
I'm an Amsoil man myself so it goes into all holes. THANKS very much for all you do for us common folk. It must take lots of time and effort to put these vids together-I, for one, am so appreciative of everything you do.
I did manage to convince one to marry me😅
Amsoil is awesome!!
Much appreciated sir!!🙏🏻
Just watched several of your videos. Thank you for the well put together videos. Im new to the 4runner world, coming from a Subaru WRX. Got an amazing deal on a new 24 TRD ORP with KDSS. Much thanks from Las Vegas, NV!
Very cool, congrats on the new ride!’
You’re going to love it!
How many pumps of grease you use on the driveshaft?
3 on each zerk fitting.
What air compressor do you use when going off road?
Nothing fancy, just a small hand held one.
Great Vids. Quick question your TRD Pro Skid Plate has a front small cover right in front of it. Where did you get that?
I appreciate that!! 🙏🏻

@@VikingsGarage thanks!
Love OBX
Was in hatteras, ocracoke and cape lookout in April. Perfect spot for the 4Rs
I’m sure I saw it but I can’t seem to find it - did you do a detailed description of where to disassemble the throttlebody and MAS to clean it? This video talks about it but I’m sure there was a video you did that showed you actually physically doing it. Am I wrong?
Hey VG. I recently switched to 5-30 in my 2023 4Runner….. your thoughts. Wasn’t happy with the amount of metal in the oil from new changed at 700km. 1300km and I switched to 5-30 at 4000km . Also fluid filmed it when I picked it up in October before the snow. Northern Canada.
Some people do run it on 5-30
I think “the motor oil guy “ would probably answer this one very well.
I’ve always used 0w20, even in my red 4Runner which is at 210k miles, I always used 0w20 and I believe my brother in law is still doing the same.
Zero issues.
Headed back to 4Runner Beach in mid August. NC Coastal great food! Safe travels
Safe travels to you my friend!! 👊🏻
Thanks for the video. I’ve been doing the maintenance on my 16 and learning a lot from you.
Do you think it’s worth getting a new MAF or just cleaning the one I have? Runs fine with 200k. Thanks.
Your very welcome!!
No need to buy a new MAF sensor, clean it… it will be good as new.

Excellent video, keep ur great sense of humor!!!
😅 Thank you!!
Great info and video as always mate. At 100k miles, I don't believe the transmission fluid has been changed, do you recommend a flush or fluid change for the trans fluid? Thanks you.
You can’t go wrong either way, the key is doing it sooner than later.
Valvoline, 5-30. Best I've used. Don't burn up. Even after 5000 miles
I appreciate you sharing!!
been to Florida twice with our Runner from Jersey🙌🏽, also wanted to ask if you would have a recommendation for a new underbody spot here? the Bound Brook LineX from one of ur earlier videos is no longer there, wanted to go in for their touch-up service but😩😩😩
That was the one I knew. Try to find another one of their locations.
Monmouth would be the nearest one now and similar pricing, bummer since we have a MT Bronco as well that we want to undercoat, just gonna be pricier now
just an update, I cleaned MAF and throttle body, when changed the air filter. The 2013 Salsa Pearl Trail with 144k is pulling down 20.4+ the last 3 fill ups. That is a mix of stop and go and highway, with heavy Cooper AT3 E rated tires.. Thanks again Paul, love all your videos..
Right on!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just recently bought a 2016 4Runner with 67k. A fellow RUclipsr who was a Toyota Master Tech of 13 years and now owns his own shop said the Dealer doesnt even use OE transfer fluid but use gear oil. I also in my own research found that Valvoline makes Toyota engine oil. When doing the 60k service i found the transmission a total pain in doing it with trying to wait for the right temp of the fluid. I think next time i will opt for just a drain n fill. Dont really see why this wont work. Any thoughts on that? Just subbed to you. Will be checking out your other stuff. I change synth oil every 5k. 3k in my older cars that are non synth.
Very nice!!
In regards to your transmission fluid question, I personally do drain and fill. If you dig deep into my maintenance series, I’ve made 2 videos showing you how:

So are you watching both the Euro Cup and Copa America? Sorry, Portugal was eliminated. !! Greetings from a Colombian who loves your videos!!
Much love right back to you!!🙏🏻
I do always follow anything soccer related.
Always love the new vids. Especially 4Runner. I've changed all fluids up to 60k bc of you 💪 2018 4Runner trd pro
💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!!
Amsoil signature 0W20 oil with TRD pro filters, oem pink coolant ,amsoil severe gear 7W90 oil for the diffentials , original toyota transfer case fluid (AKA liquid gold ) toyota oem transmission fluid , mobil 1 atf for power steering ,amsoil NLGI #2 off road grease for axle..and half gallon of Blaster's Surface Shield undercoating every year at the end of September while is still hot for better penetration ..😅😅😅
Thank you for sharing!!
(Quite the list)
Hey bud,Excellent as usaul..Just wondering what weight of gear oil you use in the t case when your not using the expensive stuff?
Like can use the same gear oil thats in the diffs? 2015 SR5
Thanks pal and have an Awsome Trip
I used the exact same thing thru out :
Valvoline Flexfill SAE 75W-90 Full Synthetic Gear Oil
@@VikingsGarage Excellent

Another great video! I use the Pennzoil Platinum as well, though I admit I'm bad and do it closer to 10K. I drive a lot of highway, even then I end up doing it two or three times a year. Even close to 10K, the oil still looks amber on the stick. 176k and counting!
Incidentally, when I was shopping for used 4Runners, I met a tech who was helped me out with advice, he said the same as you, avoid the kdss.
That tech gave you good advice.
I appreciate you watching!!
Sounds exactly like Christopher Walken.
Love your videos.
😅
Annoyingly had Toyota tell me they wouldn't drain and fill my transmission at ~63K miles. They only do "flush". So off to find a new mechanic to work on mine.
👏🏻
Great advise, awesome channel.
Trying to figure out your accent LOL. Are you Portuguese ?
I sure am.🇵🇹
Thanks man always bringing the info. Man do you ever get creeped out being there alone with it that quiet? Idk man sometimes i get things in my head and im like fff what was that, ever little sound haha. Happy you get some time off schools out for summer ☀️
I honestly prefer to be there alone. 🤷🏼♂️
Some comes around with cute ideas I got a big wrench for that.
😅
Only Penzoil and OEm filter for my 4Runner. Project Farm also did a test. Amsoil came out on top but that’s 15/qt. Penzoil came in a close second
Yes, I do recall watching that. 👏🏻👏🏻
after what i saw PennZoil Do To Engines (Foaming) in the late 1980s early 1990s i Would Not EVER use that Junk... EVER!!!
@efil4kizum things have since changed, Penzoil is now owned by Shell
@@VikingsGarage Oh! i must be an old Fart!!
@@VikingsGarage I thot Shell made Rotella ??
I did a couple drain and fill using Valvoline Maxlife ATF.
👏🏻👏🏻
Nicely executed! I know I might catch heat from others for using SuperTech Full Synthetic 0w20, but I don’t go past 3-3500 miles oil change intervals with OEM oil filter. Are you still
Changing Oil Filter every OTHER oil change, so for you every 8K-10K miles for that? Ty!
That is correct, I only change the filter every other oil change.
@@VikingsGarage so the OEM will hold up and do its job for 10k miles?
Correct!!
@@VikingsGaragethough I 1000% trust you and do my maintenance by watching your videos, it’s 6 bucks for the OEM filter. I’m an old timer and I just can’t do an oil change without the filter. Love your videos. I learn so much.
It is a very fair point Sir.
Lol, you answered the question in the video, LOL.
Yes sir. 😅
I have a question a few months ago you did a video on updating your info-tament. When i receive a text message, I used to be able to reply by voice. I would push the microphone icon and speak. The infotament system would translate to text and i could send it. In recent months the mic icon is gone and i can no longer talk to response to text. How do i fix this? Do i have to update the system as you did in the video or is this there a different fix? Thanks
You clearly need a software update in your radio. Unfortunately that’s how they have these things set up.
It’s a dealer fix only.
@VikingsGarage thank you very much.
Love this video! I just got my 2024 4Runner. Do you hear a hissing noise when you press the brake pedal?
Common characteristic of the 4Runner, it’s because they use a abs modular in place of a brake booster.
Perfectly normal.
Congrats and Enjoy your new ride!!
@@VikingsGarage Thank you!!!
Great video. Could you please tell me how you were able to access a professional garage where you can lift your truck up and have tools to use?
I do this for a living.
I’ve been doing it for over 25 years.
I’m both Toyota and Honda Master technician.
@@VikingsGarage oh nice!
Good information as always!
🙏🏻
Excellent video sir!! Been watching for a bit.
👏🏻 I appreciate that!!
Motor Oil Geek is THE source of knowledge on oil.
💯
Amsoil signature series is my favorite
Excepcional oil right there. 👍🏻
Great info Paul. Thank You!
🙏🏻
Do you guys work on kdss or send it to Lexus? I heard most Toyota shops don’t have the fluid pressure tool.
You’re absolutely correct!
Not only do we not usually service them, but the one time I needed that pressure tool, they borrowed it from another dealer.
@@VikingsGarage do you know if someone removed kdss, is there something in the tech stream to deactivate it so the kdss light will not light up on the dash after it’s removed or have to get a non kdss ecm?
@jeff_k1493 That’s an excellent question, unfortunately never crossed that bridge.
Absolutely, no idea.🤷🏼♂️
@@VikingsGarage my 4Runner has kdss. If it goes bad that’s what I was planning on doing or repair it myself. I Knew nothing about Toyotas, when I read kinetic dynamic suspension system on the sticker I thought it was upgraded struts and shocks lol.
Unfortunately you’re not alone, lots of people are frustrated because they didn’t know and now don’t want to deal with it.
Thank you! Great info
🙏🏻
this is THE Vikings Garage with a growl.

@@VikingsGarage what kind of undercoating do you have applied under this rig? do you have an existing video of it somewhere on your channel?
How about the rust issues on 4 runners?

@jonathanmariani5627 🙏🏻 Thank you , for your support!!
so it cost me $164 for them to reprogram FOBs. i sent a message a while back saying my FOBs buttons didnt work but it still registered so i could still use but not lock or unlock by pressing the buttons. I did nothing to my FOBs, only thing i ever did was go into settings in ent system changing a couple settings like unlock all doors. how the hell does that happen. the guys at toyota couldnt explain, they said i manually reprogrammed fob and messed it up. Both FOBs had exact same problem. weird
I like to do 5k oil intervals ('16 t4r) with the filter being changed every other. Penzoil ultra platinum as well! Appreciate you viking bro👊🏻🤍⚡️
Right on 👊🏻
Why filter changed every other ??
@efil4kizum From what i've experienced the filter can absolutely handle the 10k interval. The oil at 5k still looks gold coming out of the 4runner. Just my thoughts and experience. Do what makes you comfortable 👊🏻
@@dbarton8651 i bot a mobil1 xtended life filter... says it is good for 20k miles... put it on a Gen2 4cyl Tacoma whose filter is exceptionally difficult to remove without proper equipment to get underneath the truck... filter has 17k miles onit currently with 3 0w20 oil Only changes within the past year... it is due for a dealer OCI where They can change the filter and put on a Toyota branded one.
@efil4kizum Right on!💯 Sounds good to me. 👊🏻
