I've never owned a Toyota, but when I came across your channel and heard you talking I just had to subscribe. Your voice is so soothing and calm to listen to.
@Milkweed I have driven a Tundra and I did not like it. I got it as a rental when my Chevy Silverado got rear ended in 2009. I don't like the New Chevys either. I will be keeping my '03 Silverado.
Just purchased a 2020 RAV4 XLE and traded in my 2011 Dodge Caliber because I've been watching a lot of mechanical videos (yours included) on how to repair things. Well the Caliber would get fixed and something else would fail. Went with Toyota because so many people claim they are reliable and your videos prove it. Thank you sir!

California cars are super clean underneath here in the great white north there rusted. if everybody could find a good professional like Peter that cares about doing a quality job Toyota’s will run forever
My Canadian Toyota is 15 years old. It is as rust-free as this California truck because it has been taken to Krown Rustproofing every year. Rust is only 'inevitable' if people willfully neglect the essential maintenance that is part of living in a place where roads are heavily salted.
Right Lane Hog Hello fellow Canuck, I live in good ol Alberta. Did you do the rust proof by yourself ? How many winters do they last? Appreciate your input, Cheers...
Your lift and the gear oil pump dispenser makes all the difference in the world with this job. How do you like those Braun work lights? Seems you use them in all your videos. Plenty of light, slim profile, adjustable angle and magnetic base look very handy.
Old chevy transmissions that needed to be rebuilt anyway would still keep going if you didnt flush them and get the suspended material out of the fluid. Had they been flushed at 50k instead of pushed well past their limits they probably would have seen well over 300k instead of being R and R'd at 120k. But that's chevy. These aisin sealed units still need a flush before 100k especially if you tow. Replace the filter, use the Toyota fluid and keep on going for another 100k. Otherwise you could be looking at a rebuild at 150-175k
Love the channel!! I am hearing from other Tundra owners to change the transmission fluid at 50,000 miles instead of 100,000 miles. What is your opinion ? Should this be done to the other fluids?? Changing the fluids earlier instead of their recommendations ?
just unloosened all the fill and drain plugs in the rear and front diffs and transfer case in my 2004 Sequoia, wanted to do this before buying the oils and plugs. The hardest by far was the fill plug on the front diff, rusted up badly, the 10 mm hex socket would barely fit in, used rust dissolver and wire brush to clean and breaker bar on socket wrench and finally broke free!
Since jacking up the left side ofthe vehicle to get the proper draining of the rear diff fluid, I didn't see you dropping the jack so the filling procedure would be equally accurate and complete. Also, did you undercoat your truck with thatFluid Film or some other product??
@@davidnull5590 damn, I would love to find someone like him in my area. I dont mind paying them well. It's another story paying some of these idiots nowadays that doesnt get anything accomplished other than a my wallet feeling much lighter.
Make sure to pound in that hex! I live in the rust world and I got both my plugs out. At first it just went in a bit, if I torqued, I would have been in trouble! My lexus GS has a 10mm hex in the back and a standard hex bolt plug in the front I ordered all new crushwashers.
Hello, I have a 2008 Toyota Highlander Sport FWD with 185,000 miles. I have only done oil changes, batteries and tires on her. What type of maintenance should I perform and where do I start to keep her riding smooth? Sorry if I missed a video that already explains this.
Is it possible if the fluid is low that the 4wd light will blink? I ask because one day I notice that the diff fluid came out the vent hose I guess the little check was suck and create pressure and came out ,I replaced the little vent checks I haven’t add fluid yet but notice after that when I used the 4wd it ingaged but when I took it out of 4wd the light blinks even though it did come out of 4wd drive
Great video Thanks again. I use a hammer on Allen headed plugs before removing. It helps a lot if you can hit them good a few times before using Allen wrench.
I love the methodical approach for a “basic” service, especially on a Tundra, since I have a 2017 TRD. I believe you consulted the manual for that earlier model, however, in mine, it requires a very unique TOYOTA 75w85 GL5 and the typical gear oil you are using would be incorrect and would degrade the differential. Please consult the owners manual for the proper lubricant specifications, and not a generic sticker. Trust me, the Toyota dealers are sloppy and ignorant as they used the wrong oil in mine!!! I became unglued at their ineptness.
Right Lane Hog No aftermarket oil company has the composition or specifications of the Toyota Lubricants ....... be warned, most anything will work, but you are shortening the equipment life ......
@@1ronhall Just to be clear, I don't work for Amsoil or own any stock in the company. The Amsoil lubricants I use easily exceed all the specifications DETAILED in the owner's manual. My Toyota just passed 15 years of age. I have been using Amsoil's top spec oil since the second oil change. For 5 years I followed the oil change intervals specified by Toyota. Once the drivetrain warranty expired, I started using Amsoil according to its ACTUAL capability. That means for a decade I have used the Amsoil long life oil filter and done once-a-year oil changes. The engine remains in perfect condition as does the 5 speed manual transmission which has also been treated to Amsoil lubricant. Amsoil lubricants have been tested independently and exceed the quality of any other products on the market. Like I said, the best made cars deserve the best protection. BTW I have saved a small fortune by investing in top quality lubes and filters which drastically reduced trips to the garage over the last decade.
Right Lane Hog congratulations on using premium Lubricants ..... you have invested wisely ...... just be certain the lubes meet and are OEM approved for the application. There is too much gray zone in marketing and the user assumes the responsibility and onus. Happy Mile-ing!!
@@1ronhall Happy trails with your Tundra, it is easily the best full-size pickup on the market. We have a Tacoma in the family but if we ever needed a bigger pickup the list of possible choices would only have one name on it.
That Tundra looks brand new underneath. Awesome to see.
I was gonna say that I knew it was an older design, but it looks like it just came off the showroom floor!
I have the same exact truck (black also) and mine does not look anywhere close to the condition of this truck. Kind of sucks watching this lol

I don't have 4wd, but it's still nice to see these first gen Tundras being worked on here.
That tundra looks clean af

Keep that lubricant fresh! A quart or two of lube is cheap but a new differential is very expensive.
Now try telling your wife that.

Very clean Tundra and the fluid that dripped out from the initial drain looked almost brand new.

I’ll be changing the fluids in my 2006 RAV4 AWD next weekend. Thanks for showing me how.
Thank you. Will be doing mine soon at about 30.000 miles.
Thank you for the videos. I have learned a lot about Toyotas and specially Tundras. Thank you again
You’re very neat and systematic as far as I can see. Nice job, sir.

Hoping to see lube change on a tundra transmission fluid change. I hear not to flush the system?
Absolutely flush them. Flushed mine at 96k and again when the transmission cooler let go inside the radiator. Shifts nice and smooth.
Drain and fill, no flush
@@somemedic Of course you should flush them , where do these old wives' tales come from?

Use the OEM specified fluids and you can’t change too early.
Use Amsoil's top spec lubricants. You bought the best truck so logically you should use the best products to protect it.
Would this be the same process for the 2001 Tundra V8?
just unloosened all the fill and drain plugs in the rear and front diffs and transfer case in my 2004 Sequoia, wanted to do this before buying the oils and plugs.

that is an impeccable first gen tundra..If it has dark grey and black leather interior I'd be extremely jealoust

Recommend interval miles for service the font and rear differential?
How often should I run in 4wheel drive per year to keep it lubricated ?

For best protection use the Amsoil lubricant that meets the warranty requirements. It will be better than anything Toyota will stock.
