Really well explained and also the trick with the hose and warming up the oil are really helpful for people that are not mechanically inclined. thanks a lot!
Glad it helped
Excellent video! Great tip to warm up gear oil for easier flow. The funnel seems to fit perfectly at the oil fill inlet/notch. Thank you!!!
Maxim’s DIY Garage thx for the kind words.
Subbed!
Hi great videos very informative. I have a 2010 FJ Cruiser last week my check engine went on it says p0327 it's the knocking sensor. Can you make a video how to replace a knocking sensor on a Toyota Fj Cruiser. I don't want to take to a shop or a dealer I would like to learn and do it myself. Thanks
Thank you. That was really helpful.
Thank you so much for this video!!!
Great idea with the hose from the top, i spent a long time looking for a decent hand pump for the diff oil when i could have had this brainwave.
Glad I could help
Great video tutorial! Subscribed

You bet!
very nice video thanks, i learn now how to do it on my prado 120!
Great to hear!
Welcome back 👌
if you're working on an 2007 FJ Cruiser grab a copy of the FJ Cruiser Repair Manual @ www.lastgreatroadtrip.com/4x4-tech/gear-review/the-rig-that-gets-under-the-skin/. That is the definitive answer :-)
Good video. How often should I can this fluid?
Toyota recommends checking every 15K miles. Look to see if the fluid is dark or looks dirty or foamy. change as needed (I tend to change at minimum of 45k)
Good
Thanks
Any neverseize on the threads? (Which reduces needed tq by 20% according to permatex)
never used anti-seize on drain plugs... only on exhaust bolts, bolt on to the engine and spark plugs. interesting use
So it’s fine with the front a bit higher than the back? Great video by the way
Thanks for the comment.
And yes the tilt will be fine
@@lastgreatroadtrip thank you for the reply. Good to know. Unfortunately my stupid drain hex bolt stripped so I was unable to do the front. Did the TC and rear though.
Do you think its safe to change a 97 4runner Ltd 240k differential oil if it has never been changed before? Everything works well now.
that is a long time to go without an oil change... it is definitely a good idea to change the oil.... but do make sure your remove the refill plug first to ensure it is not stuck. You don't want to drain the oil and then find out you can't refill it because the fill-plug has become stuck in place from years of road gunk and neglect.
@@lastgreatroadtrip - I'm just afraid with the new oil parts will start breakdown with out the gump.
how often should the differential oil be changed? I have a 2018 Prado v6
always check the manual. Plenty of on-line sources
Where did you found the gasket ?
you can always find parts info and additional instructions on our website. This how to is posted at www.lastgreatroadtrip.com/4x4-tech/how-to-maintenance/front-differential-oil-change/
😁
Does my 4Runner 2007 v6 have a front differential? It’s a 2wd
Good question. No, a rear wheel drive only car/truck will not have a front differential.
@@lastgreatroadtrip understood thank you for the response!
You lost me when you put oil in hot water....🙄🙄
It had been cold for that last week and the gear lube sat in the garage. The hot water definitely warmed up the gear oil and helped it flow.
