fluid change

I'm new here. Hi. I've owned 4 Toyota's over the last 15 years and currently have 2 in my driveway. My wife's 2000 LX470 (195k miles) and my 2019 Tundra Limited (73k miles). I have vowed to never take my cars to a mechanic again. I feel competent on the basics (fluid changes/brakes/spark...

I changed fluids in the rear differential, transfer case, and front differential this morning as part of baselining Pearl. Went with Mobil 1 75w-90 full synthetic GL-5 for all three. Best that can be seen from records is that fluids were last changed at a reputable Lexus dealership 5 years and...

I got a 1998 LX470 that I picked up as non running and it has been in the Low setting since I got it. I am planning on flushing the AHC system but before I do that, I wanna get opinions on what to do first. Currently, there seems to be barely, if any, AHC fluid in the reservoir. I came across...

For a few months have had the typical cv axle knocking noise that happens when I am making a turn. Finally took it to a repair shop and was quoted $2700 for both front axles & bearings. Is it reasonable? Should I also consider getting tie rods also replaced? It only has 86k miles. I bought it a...

Hey Guys, Just bought a 2000 LX470 with 263K miles and wanted to baseline all the fluids. I picked up some AHC fluid from two different Toyota dealerships (Magnusson's in Palo Alto, and Capitol Toyota - CA San Jose) as it was really hard to find. I did the flush following PADDO's method along...

Hello 👋🏽 I have a few days off due to the holiday weekend (in the USA) and I want to do something productive and swap out all the fluids that I haven’t gotten around to ever since getting my KZJ78. I have a few questions and I want to ask help for those more experienced in these type of cases...

I just did a drain and fill on my trans in my 2009 GX470 (120K miles). I could not find a complete write up and found myself hopping around between multiple different sources. First of all, It is really not that bad and I recommend anyone that is thinking about it to do it! Tools/Shopping...

I purchased a 2005 GX470 a while back with 165k miles. Currently it's sitting at 170k miles and the transmission has mostly felt fine except for cruise control erratically shifting on hills occasionally. I know these transmissions come with "lifetime fluid" in the sealed units and I assume the...

Hey All, I hydrolocked my motor and am in the middle of a swap, while pulling my old motor, I damaged the torque converter - it made a nasty ticking noise when spinning by hand. Have a new torque converter now, and no more noise when spinning on the trans - I already pre-filled the TC as much...

Hello, I have a 2000 TLC with about 90k miles on it. As far as I am aware the fluid has never been replaced. Anyway, I know there are threads on this already but most of them are pretty dated and was curious if anyone has had experience with this more recently. I was driving up a road out of an...
