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)
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.
@@jaypikachu6660 and you must enjoy changing transmissions.
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.
I just change the oil. The rest is a rip off.
@@JP1050x i mean if you called it a driveshaft like a normal person a lot more people would know what you meant
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!
If you have 4WD don’t forget to change your transfer case gear oil too,also THE DRAIN/FILL PLUGS ARE SO TIGHT definitely recommend a breaker bar
Impact Wrench
On regular maitenance schedule it say to check gear oil level. Doing so will prevent the fill plug to seize.
Tap them with a hammer first. They can be removed easy.
I WILL DO THAT FOR HER
@@agfa663also not tightening them with your impact. Took mine to the shop one time ever for fluid change and they tightened it so fucking tight that i had to weld a wrench onto it to get it off
I was quoted today 440 for both. My truck is a 2011. 75k. I’m doing it myself
Today they changed my transmission fluid. Took 3 gallons and $440. They have the machine to suck out all the old fluid. It’s already shifting better.
Great video. Thank you for posting
Chloe If I live near by you, I may ask you come over to help this old man !!! Very helpful little girl!!!!
I like your videos. Already know how to change the rear and front diff, but always good to see how other people do it. And your other videos are helpful to see a person attempt/complete DIY mods. Thanks.
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!!
You are the best part of Tacoma ownership, Chloe. Your videos are both informative and fun to watch. Very well done. 👍
I’m about to do my rear and front differential oils. And the transfer case. Mine is a 2011. It looks like it’s brand new. My father in law purchased it new and gave it to me when he was diagnosed. 70 K on it. Great video Chloe. Thanks so much
Your father has to be the proudest man ever. Not only do you learn how to do this stuff, but you do the physical work and then video it and post it to teach others. What could be better. Your dad should give you a card for Father’s Day!
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
Multi tasking, sweeping the floor with your hair and changing the oil, Nice.
You do an excellent job at taking care of your Tacoma.
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 went and got the gaskets from the dealer. They use mobil 1 75 90. I got the valvoline synthetic 75 90 meets the same specs. Next time ill get mobil 1 since that is my favorite. And i do it at 30 K intervals. Just hit 30 k on my 2018 had it since it was 11 miles
what do you use for transfer case?
They make these little fluid pumps that you can use with a drill that work great for transferring the diff oil. Cheers!
those things are great
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! 👍
Any chance you have that part number?
@@dawg7750 I bought the crush washers and the tank pump from Amazon - Differential and transmission drain plug crush washers, and the pump style tank - Motive Products 1735 fluid transfer pump. If that helps.....
Good job I never thought to mark the fill plug to get it back tight good idea 👍
This is the exact video I was looking for. I'm due for this maintenance :)
Just did my front/rear diffs, transfer case, and transmission. Saved a bunch and was fun.
Man plz guide me, im nervous to do it lol
I got quoted $360 for both front end and rear differential fluid and transfer case change. But like you mentioned I don’t tow heavy material that often and at 91,000 miles I’ve already changed it twice
I got quoted 350 from my local Toyota not bad at all for both
you do a great job making these videos Chloe. I look forward to them
this is helpful, for some reason my 2018 rear only need about 3 and about 1/4 QT . i did let if drain for about 15min.
I noticed something similar. I just refilled 'til it came out the filler opening. I'm thinking the factory may have under-filled.
Always great videos. Love it when one pops up from you. Thanks
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 🤙
That was great information. Thanks for mentioning torque specs and fluid amounts! :))
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.
Just picked up a 2014 TRD Offroad 4x4 the other month. Even though it only has 18k miles, 9 year old fluids don’t sound good to me 😐 Thanks for the great tutorial!
Wow luckkyyyy
Hi...make a hole in the cap of the diff oil bottle big enough for your hose to fit through. Then you won't have to hold both ends of the hose.
Good job. You don't need to remove the transmission Pan to change it it's very easy.
@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. 🤙🏻
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.
The oem fluids had specific detergent for the special bushing the t case has. The bushing will deteriorate if the right fluid isn’t used
@@esaigarcia6741 in that cade, please explain why event Toyota dealers don't use the OEM fluid and why it is ONLY used at the car manufacture.
I use Royal Purple Synchromax Manual Transmission Fluid for the transfer case. Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 75W/90 for the rear and front differential.
Might I suggest wearing gloves when breaking any bolt, and removing your watch, ask me how I know lol.
Broke my last watch for similar reasons...
Super easy and you saved a ton of money!! Good job.......
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.
i took my 4runner for a maintenance oil change, they too messed up my oil change.... oil leaked all over the garage, they came and filled it up... nd made it right.
Great video Chloe. Thanks for sharing 👍
Don't have telegram
Super cool. Thanks for the video. I have a 21 that will need the same work done soon.
Your doing good in maintaining your Tacoma more power and God bless
Pretty good. No clickbait, no bs. ⬆️
wow $150.00 each at my Toyota in Riverside SoCal was I was quoted, good job nice video thanks stay safe 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing/posting, your transmission will also be serviced soon, maybe you can do a video on that too. I took it to the stealership for that and was ripped off $350. I knew forehand of the cost, didn’t want to do it and mess up with not doing it correctly, additionally I wanted to build up carfax history as all other services I have performed.
I don’t need a carfax history.
I keep mine until they are junk, just how Mom and Dad taught me. ✌🏻
Super job
Well done
I never see a reply from you so I don't know if you read the comments, but the sealed tranny is no big deal. Check out the Car Care Nut channel, he's a pro Toyota mechanic. He has two videos on how to do the transmission fluid. If you can change oil, you can do it.
Excellent as always, Chloe 👍
Thank you very much for this info! I'm having a time locating the crush washers. Do both plugs take them?
Good job on the maintenance video. Looking forward to the spark plug replacement video. Have a wonderful weekend 😀
Changed mines when I switched to 4:88 gears had only 27,397 miles on it
Tell me more about those 4.88’s- Better? Fuel mileage? Etc.
@@UKnowBo better acceleration and maybe around 2 mpg more
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.
how about the transfer case did you use Toyota fluid love your videos
yea defenitly beats $500, I get to buy a new tool maybe do I really need a breaker bar? I do need a torque wrench.
What if there is some shavings? Mine done early (16000 miles) had shavings....😢
Love the taco love and the sheepdog!!
What mileage did you change the differentials????
$ 400.00 in Pittsburgh, Pa. I will be doing it myself
Does anyone know if you have to do a “break in period” for just doing the fluid change?
Yeah dealerships charge way too much for that. Thanks but, no thanks I’ll change it myself
Did you change the oil in the transfer case as well? Nice video.
Good morning young lady,
I'm John Chan the fisherman. Just a tad older than you. Now 54 years old and getting a lot wiser. Highly educated but a car mechanic. I watch RUclips and change my own fluids. Such as engine oil, transmission fluid, differiental oil, steering fluid, last but not least the brake fluid. This fluid is very important on cars older than 5 years old. At this moment I own 7 batteries, yes I conduct batteries mantainace on them adding distilled water every few months. Try to save money on batteries.
The boat has two batteries, you can fill in the blank.
Like your video, oh yeah I've been doing my own fluid for 3 years since all my kids moved out to college. Thanks
Cool... try the amsoil bladder packs, they are really nice to fill with.... wait as typing this you just said that ;) 5:45
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 had to get my fronts drain bolt replaced (used GX HEX replacement) since it was seized to high heaven and ended up welding a bolt to it since it stripped out the hex socket.
Where did you get your pump to change your differential fluid?
Where do you get the torque specs for your vehicles?
What gear oil for a 19 with a manual transmission. I heard don’t use GL-5 but GL-4 only? most brands say they are good for both. Another RUclips tech Chanel said do not use GL-5.
Hey good afternoon I have a question for you lady is possible to
You tell me what is the size of
Your tires
Great video! I noticed that you have 3ea of one type and 1ea of another crush washer listed in your parts used section. Which plug gets the off washer? It might be obvious to tell when looking at it, but haven’t got to the task just yet. Thanks!
When I did my rear diff for my first time man it took me an hour its easy but it was my first time doing it.
Thank Clhoe you tha best
Thank you Chloe!!!!
Dang about time 🤣
I remember commenting when you first starting posting videos.
We can tell your diff never touch any river crossing, that oil is still good.
Ours were already dark at 9K miles, it was like “Putik”.
Definitely a DIY, save money 💰,
Gracias por tu ayuda buen video 👍👍👍
I know that you said that you like the pouches instead of the pump and bottle but do you have the clearance to pour the bag into a funnel?
FYI, buy a Walmart garden sprayer for under $10. You will fill up the gear oil quicker without effort. BTW, I have the same Makita blower on you wall. I use it fo car detailing.

Can you use the same Diff oil for the transfer case as well?
No you need LT 75w
For the transfer case I used Royal Purple Synchromax Manual Transmission Fluid, a little more than two quarts. You case use the same as diff oil but fuel mileage will suffer. The genuine Toyota fluid is outrageously expensive.
Did you change the oil in the transfer case?
I was going to ask but you beat me to it 😊
HI.. anyone have squeaky leaf springs? My tacoma has the ironman nitro lift kit (purchased it with it) and when i get out of the vehicle i here squeaks,, nothing while i drive though.
You are Awesome great job done!!
Make sure to use Diff-lock compatible fluid. When loosening the bolt, use one hand to press and hold the 6-sided box socket tightly to the bolt. Since the bolt is so thin, if you round off the edges, removing especially the bottom bolt is tricky. Proper torque is OK, but be careful when tightening the Transfercase bolts. It's an aluminum casing and can crack! Just hand tight it. I deal with Toyota 4x4's since 1990 and never used a torque wrench to tighten diff/transfer bolts.
Can I use any old fluid if I have a 2wd Tacoma with open diff? Gonna do mine soon and the fluid from the dealer is so expensive but one of the only true 75w-85 oils I can find:/ is it safe to use 75w-90?
Great video! Do you have a link for the small pump you used?
I got one from Autozone, the only bad thing is it didn’t pump EVERY single thing from the bottle, so what we did was just pump in a new bottle and eventually it the differential filled up thank god
Her diff fluid came out still fresh looking
Yeah seems 60k miles is probably the best interval if you don’t off-road the truck much. If you got plenty of miles on dirt water and snow then yeah I would change it at 30k miles.
How about the transfer case? Does it need oil change too? 🙂
don't forget the transfer case!!
Great content!
Great video!
Do you use crush washer for drain plug as well?it looks like a flat one that may be for fill plug?
Hmm, I need to change mine,
2003 TRD Off Road
Great videos, Chloe!
Your old diff fluid has to be the cleanest I've ever seen! Do you change it every 100 miles? Heehee j/k
I've done this before on my taco, but I hate the way diff oil smells lol
Nice shirt Chloe!! And video!😉
What kind of torque wrenches do you have? I’m looking to buy my first one and would appreciate any advice 😊
Question for the diferencial i need to change the rear diferencial?
, the tranfer diferencial?,
and the front diferecial? how much oil i need?
My truck is 2020 toyota tacoma trd of road.
Thank you
I got the best price on Mobil 1 75W/90 by purchasing a case of twelve quarts. I used this for the rear and front diff: almost six quarts between the two diffs. For the transfer case I used Royal Purple Synchromax Manual Transmission Fluid, a little more than two quarts.
Did you had a problem doing the transmission flush ? Many Toyota locations won’t do because it’s supposedly seal for life
$500!! Those stealerships will always try to get you!
Great video!
What compass do you have on your watch? I have a suunto but it's uncomfortable
The pump you used is a siphon pump for gas it’s not a fluid transfer pump. That’s why you had issues. The muddy looking fluid in the front diff is from moisture in its that’s why you are supposed to drive it 10 miles a month in 4wd.
great video!
How come your oil had no Brand????? Black bottle Brand??? I knew had to be 75w-90 GL5
Gotta change all the crush washers and front diff copper washer. I hope she stays leak free.
Is the single copper gasket for the front/rear drain or fill?
What kind of gear oil are you using?
And thank you for your dyi
Good to know. Thanks.
