Best tacoma maintenance videos on RUclips. Keep 'em coming.
Deal! Thanks brother 🍻 Greg and I have about 30 videos lined up at the moment
Hands down!!!!
Seriously been putting off taking the truck into the shop since before covid knowing it was gonna cost thousands to do all the maintenance. So stoked I found your channel man. Just finished swapping the rear diff fluid, serpentine belt and flushed the radiator. Next up are the spark plugs, transmission fluid/filter, power steering fluid and brake fluid. Great work putting these vids together.
@@CaliradoKid love it. Hold off on trans a few more days, I’ve got a big update video to drop here asap. Truck currently drained as we speak. Thanks as always for the words 😎
@@teamoildrop Ok will do! Still waiting on the fluid to come in so I'll hang tight.
@@CaliradoKid We are live! Happy maintaining.
can’t recommend the discord enough. i sent a message with a question at midnight and got a response within 10 minutes. bailed my ass out big time
🍻 we be helpin
I'm an old mech former ASE who doesn't want to work on cars much anymore, But I love your vids and you info is awesome. I've never worked on this new stuff so even I need to see what needs to be done so I don't do something stupid. Thanks again for great Vids!
Words much appreciated brother! 🍻 😌 Happy maintaining
Great video for the Tacoma brake fluid replacement procedure. Step 5 calls out," Vacuum out desired amount." I know some techs are looking for the change in fluid color to know when to stop. Additionally, those rear brake lines are going to have more fluid than the front brake lines. The mightyvac container does have lines for up to 4 oz of collection. This can be helpful in determining how to utilize a brand new 32 oz container of new DOT 3 brake fluid. Thanks for the great tutorial!
Great points and thanks! I ran 32oz through mine just to flush it all 😌 🍻
Great videos. All the precise directions and the calming voice doesn't hurt either. Thank you
Thank you! 🍻 😌 Mom always said I had a face (and voice) for radio 📻
Been trying to find a comprehensive list of how to bleed OR brakes. This will help a ton. Thanks!
Our pleasure! Yah, RUclips was missing key info and unfortunately was leading some OR/Pro guys that didn’t know better into mushy brake mistakes
@teamoildrop with the larger master cylinder resevoir on the (2018) off road, is the strainer basket removable. It looked like all one piece.
Would love to see a video specific to the TRD OR and Pro models so we can see the difference visually as well.
@@THEKillerRyan96 I hear ya brother, visual learner myself
@teamoildrop hey there could you ask a knowledgeable willing trd owner to make a video about the trd/pro brake fluid flush? Just did my spark plugs took 2 hrs what a pita
@@yzrippin not a bad idea!
This could not have come at a better time, was literally planning on doing my brake fluid this weekend
🍻
@@teamoildropI have a Pro and didn’t know about the auto bleed system, so good looking out. Saved me a trip to the dealership for when I would’ve messed it up the first time
@@nicholasreed1192 they can be finicky if not done exactly right. Finally I’d weigh cost of tool vs dealership job on this one.
Always thankful for your videos!
Great content as always. Saving Taco owners big bucks!
Fantastic video!!
New sub, I appreciate the cleanliness of your videos
The pleasure is ours! 💥
As always, perfect. Thanks for posting.
Our pleasure! 🍺
appreciate your video! sucks I need a scan tool to do this on my 2023 6MT TRD OR but many thanks!
Good to know before you’re halfway through and the pedal goes squish! Our pleasure 😎
Love your videos. I'm following you on Tacoma World website also. Subbed.
Awesome! Thank you!
Greg the Editor
Awesome video. You guys are pro's at this stuff.
Thanks Lucas 🍺 😌
I assume the gentleman at the start of your video is your dad. Sorry to hear about that, I lost my dad about two years ago. Been waiting for this video as it is time to do pads, rotors and bleed the brakes. Thanks!
Thanks for the words Donald, and no, he was my grandfather. He passed in 08. This is my way of recognizing him as he was the one who taught me maintenance as well as to enjoy it.
Love my decals, I gained 12 Horses from sticking them on my Taco. Along with my PT belt on my bed rack.
💪
Great info
@@mariomosqueda1015 🍻
Thank you
Can you tell me why you used the brake bleeder bottle for the last two brake lines, and not the Mityvac pump? Thanks.
Purely an option, just demoing both!
Thanks.
Thanks for the video! I used your other ones to change out my transmission, transfer case and engine oils so far. Will be doing the diffs pretty soon as well as the serpentine belt. How much fluid is "desired" when vacuuming it out from the brake lines? Until nothing comes out of the lines?
Awesome! Love to hear it.
That’ll be subjective honestly. I ensured a FULL refresh by leisurely running about half a bottle through each corner
@@teamoildrop Makes sense. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
That mat is incredible. Where did you get it?
Edit: Answered my question!
Seems you’ve found the store! 🍻
So can I use a bleeder bottle for the whole thing or do I need the mightyvac too?
Bleeder bottle can do it all!
Do you think just gravity bleeding is less accident prone than vacuums or pumping brakes?
Great question, it is slower therefore "safer"... however, as long as you monitor your reservoir you're going to be just fine.
So for OR and pro, with the scan tool you just do the rears, not the fronts?
correct! Linking TSB now...
Please help. I am trying to figure out if the master cylinder cap needs to be closed tight when using the vacum pump and when pumping the breaks with the bottle method. TIA
Just rest the cap on the top to prevent something falling in there, don’t seal it 😌
Will do. Appreciate you. Have a blessed one.
@@vule5806 you too!
Wow didn't realize how pain in the butt our trd off-roads are . Makes me curious if mom and pop outfits know this procedure.
If they have the technical manual access for the Tacoma, then yes.
If they don't, then it's a toss up.
Greg the Editor
quick question.. the video states that the sequence should be preformed longest lines to shortest,RR, LR,RF,LF, but the OR specific directions at 9:21, step 3B states to start at passenger front caliper (RF) then LF,RR,LR... these are contradictory steps, can I get some clarification please?
nevermind, I think I got it, correct me if I'm wrong please, but first we pull fluid into the lines in that order w/a vaccum pump, then bleed them in the opposite order w/ the scan tool..
Neverminded........yiu are correct Sir
Greg
I still don’t know how to join the discord
😂 from any device click the join message in the description or pinned comment. Cya soon!
What about the timing belt/chain for the 3rd gen
That has been considered. The chain is usually not replaced on a mileage schedule. It is considered the have the life of the engine. Unless there is another component failure that dictates the change.
Greg the Editor
oh boy you actually need a scan tool for this? finally it comes in clutch......
I was specifically thinking about you in the discord; I wasn’t going to mention it until I had all the info neatly organized for you like this
@@teamoildrop I'm unsure if my scan tool will do the job or not....and that fancy tool is quite pricey.
@@derekp6636 what exact model do you have?
@@teamoildrop 2017 trd off-road edition 4x4
@@derekp6636 sorry I meant scanner
Tyler,
After searching RUclips, I couldn't find another video of brake bleed for 3rd Gen TRD Off Road's particulars that you warn of? So if you could find a friend w/ a TRD OR to operate on - I can promise you at least one click ;)
That may be possible soon, still trying to get a truck
Greg the Editor
So as the video states, my Sr5 model appears like a standard brake bleed. Many people on the forums state that the Sr5 requires a scanner to completely bleed the Sr5 abs system to perform a proper brake fluid change. Is this not the case?
The Off Road and Pro are the only models that require a scanner for bleeding
Greg the Editor
Is there a brake proportioning valve that should also be bled?
No
Greg the Editor
Hey the discount scan tool on Amazons description says for vehicles up to 2015. Do we need an updated version?
That's just something that Amazon has wrong. Will get this updated.
Please see this Autel link below

Greg the Editor
Thank you. Got mine ordered up! It baffles me how many people don’t do brake fluid and how many people actually think you’re dumb if you do, even mechanics!!!
LOL!
Not clutch here, don't have one.... I ain't touching it, till TOD does a video for 3rd Gen Off Road.... Transmission Fluid (all that friggin' temp stuff - note summer in OK takes hours hours and hours to cool) was bad enough on a 2021 when the rule changed (video from another dude - hey, it was a one time thing - it didn't mean anything, I swear - purely animalistic - on TW was life saver)
do you have a map for the 2.7l?
Everything is really the same, the only difference is the oil capacity and the filter type.
Greg the Editor
However, one is not far from being done. A week or so.
I just did this recently and when I cracked the bleeder and pumped the brakes it wasn’t forcing fluid out. Why would that be? The bleeder was definitely loose because it was vacuum/gravity draining very slowly.
Edit: never mind I didn’t wait till the end. Damn TRD off-road! Hopefully I didn’t cause any issues. Brakes have felt fine so far. Do you have a video on those steps specifically?
Do not have a video on the Pro and Off Road rear bleeding yet
Greg the Editor
@teamoildrop I'd really like to see that video too.
@@kwitwerikok8o863 I went back and did it properly again. It’s all pretty straightforward if you follow the instructions in the description he linked. I think I’d say having a second person is a requirement though to do it right. Only thing I couldn’t figure out was how to run a solenoid bleed with the OBD scanner. Couldn’t find the option. Oh well
Cool! Time to supercharge!!!!! Hint....hint!
Soo does the ending of the vid also apply to 2nd gen tacos Offrod too or just 3rd gens?
A scan tool, that can activate the ABS solenoids, is required to properly bleed the entire system.
Greg the Editor
Love the videos, but the background music is highly annoying.
Thanks! You can mute and turn on closed captioning 😌
