fluid

I have a 77 FJ40 (5.7 swap) I had some smoke from my exhaust and realized it was my brake fluid dripping onto it. Specifically it’s draining the rear reservoir ( yellow circled area, ) coming from the bolt inside. I have never had to work on a master cylinder so I’m not familiar with trouble...

Hello all, I've done a forum search on this topic, naturally there is. ton of chatter on this, however in my search I can't seem to find an actual step by step guide on how to do this myself on my 2008 LX that is detailed enough to cover the process fully from start to finish... If there is one...

Is anyone running Toyota WS ATF in their 94 transmissions/A442F? Apparently I'm horrible at searching through the forums for an answer, lol. Thanks, James

Getting my 40 ready for her maiden (to me) voyage, and was checking my driveline fluids when I came across this interesting sight. I guess my question is, when replacing the mustard fluid in the transmission, is it best to stick with the OEM Yellow Mustard? Has anyone had problems with honey...

Just paid what is probably a record high to get my trans rebuilt, the genius forgot to torque the drain plug back so it fell out somewhere on the highway and I drove the gx a couple miles while it leaked all over the place. When I finally parked and turned it off is when it really started...

Hello everyone, I appologize that by first post post is to seek help. Beginning of the year, I bought a Toyota LC200 V8 Diesel with 210 000 kms - with the AHC system. It failed quite quickly, with the error code C1754 (Front gate solenoid valve malfunction) and the famous message "CHECK...

I watch the Car Care Nut quite often. Here is his take on vehicle over 170K miles. My 2014 LX 570 is now over 170K miles. I don't know if the two previous owners changed the fluid if any. However, based on the Carfax sheet, the transmission fluid was checked back in 99K miles. Should I do a...

I thought it was time to check and change the transmission fluid as Ive own my '03 LX470 for 3 years. I spoke with my mechanic friend who was a Lexus mechanic who helped me track the maintenance history. It showed the prior owner declined to have the trans mission fluid changed each time it was...

I just bought a jug of windshield wiper fluid to fill up with since the dash was saying I was low. I filled about a quarter of the jug, stopped and saw there were no leaks so I continue to fill the rest of the jug... until I noticed my garage flooded with blue! I peaked underneath and I see...

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...

I have a 2014 LX 570. Which tire should I be bleeding first? Has anyone bled the LX 570 brake fluid without taking the tire off? I'm curious if it's even possible. Thank you so much!

I want to ask, if I were to suction out all of the brake fluid (Toyota DOT3: 00475-1BF03) from the reservoir of my 100LC, does the new fluid that I put in eventually cycle through the whole brake system? Could doing this a few times be the lazy man's way to incorporate new brake fluid without...

I spotted some new stains on the pavement under my LC over the past few days, and traced it to a clear-ish fluid that seems to be dripping from the driver's side front tow hook hole. Any thoughts on what this could be? The fluid is definitely not water, but also seems pretty colorless. It has...
