Great video bro. I just bought my first 76... and I really wanted to learn how to service it. Would love to see your take on the diff and transfer case Oils etc. As well as your grease care. Thanks for the video it was very informative
Hey mate, thanks for the message. So I change the gearbox and transfer oils as regularly as the diffs. If I've been going through water and heavier offroad use I change it around 20k k. If only highway driving I’ll do it whenever I get the chance before 30-40k km. I use penrite pro gear gl5 oils for diffs, gl4 gearbox and transfer case. Greasing - I do the front driveshaft every 5k if we've been doing plenty of 4x4ing and if not every 10-15k. Don't go over the top, they only need a couple of pumps each. And careful not to over grease the spline of the driveshafts as it'll restrict movement under full compression. Ball joints etc - I throw a few pumps of grease in every oil change. Just recently changed my first set at 250k km but even then they still had life left in them. I've been happy with all the penrite products. Would double check oil for your 76 as they changed the recommended types for engine after 2016, and the gearbox did change a gear ratio. So I’m unsure if it still uses the same viscosity oils. The penrite tablets in any repco will be able to tell you. Hope this helps
@@matthewtrigwell7803 thanks mate, and it’s not that hard once you’ve done it a few times is it. Plus it gives you a lot more confidence in your own vehicle
Awesome thanks for sharing this video. I’m going to do my next service on our 2007 76 as Toyota did the last one. We are the second owner after being used by an electrical Company in South Island of New Zealand. She has 429000 on the clock and still seems to be running well. I imagine some bigger services to be coming up in the near future given the mileage.
Catch cans are a waste of money and time.. good Toyota mechanics know this and don’t run them. 70s owners know that know change the oil every 8,000kms don’t leave them idling and give em a good highway hit regularly
@@calamarininjabeast5866 everyone has their own opinion! There’s a lot of sound mechanical advice for and against the use of catch cans. Keep them drained and filter regularly changed and you won’t have any issues with crankcase pressures etc. whereas left unattended can cause long term drama. If you have an egr system in use, any oil vapours mixed in with the exhaust cause massive buildups of carbon. I’ve personally seen the difference in intakes opened at low km vehicles for with and without catch cans and egr systems. I’m in the habit of changing the oil and filter in the car every 5k km. But that is over the top for vehicles that see only on road use. It’s more of a monitoring exercise for me to keep track of any contaminants or sudden loss of oil. Most 70s are fine with the 10k intervals. Idling your car won’t hurt the vehicle as long as it has good oil pressures. We have work vehicles with 4-500k km on them and they drive at low rpm’s or idle for hours. All again this is my opinion and everyone’s experience will vary. Mine is based of my personal experience.

@@seventysixtracksmate, thank you for the detail... I'll certainly use this as a guide for my servicing going forward 🙏🏽
Awesome vid. Been doing my own servicing on my 76 for years. Can't believe there isn't more vids like this.

@@Nicbritton76 good luck with your service! That’s a fair effort but I’m sure there’s still plenty of km’s left if you look after it 🔥
Great video for the 70's guys. Thank you
Cheers mate, glad to hear
This page is underated
