Same! Perhaps the better idea would be to create a system of very very slow oil leaks above the entire frame...... 3rd and 4th Gen 4Runner Frame Rust Prevention Oil Cooling System for Extreme Overlanders (on a 3rd/4th gen budget) 🤑. Million dollar idea right there! 🤣
Hi Brian, Thank you for the video. I have a 2008 FJ, 4.0, with the same leak and was wondering/hoping that the procedure was the same or are there other obstacles to remove beside the splash pans. Is there a windage tray or anything like that to watch out for or does the pan just basically drop down? Thank you
@@nummi so the factory uses silicone. so I would recommend using that. Trust me they don’t wanna warranty it so they try to do the best option for them.
@@oscartristan7173 Appreciate it! Guess what? The guy at dealership lied to me about it. I had it checked somewhere else, And they said my oil pan , etc is all good.
@@RSU962 i am no mechanic but i can tell you one thing , I've been trying to do my own repairs lately if possible. My uncle just took his 4runner to a mechanic shop for a leak that looks exactly the same as this one and he was told it was leaking from the timing cover so they advised him to go ahead and replace the timing chain since it all had to be disassembled anyways. Also to replace the power steering pump and idk what. All for a total of $5,800 dls. Wtf!!
@@oscartristan7173 Dang. That’s a huge bill. I have started doing small things on my 4runner too. It is very hard to trust mechanics now a days. I have incidents like this twice or thrice with mechanics now.
According to my Haynes manual, the bolts get 80 INCH-lbs of torque and the nuts get 84 INCH-lbs of torque. Note: INCH-lbs, NOT ft-lbs. Hope this helps!

Finally a real technician explaining how to make a repair the correct way. I know, I'm a Toyota Technician.
I have this leak on my FJ… I keep putting off this fix as the slow leak has provided protection to certain parts of the underbody 😂

I seen mine was leaking on a road trip, So glad it a simple task.. thanks for the video
An accurate effective task description.
Amazing video, helped for my 2007 fj cruiser
This is the rear wheel drive oil pan correct?. I’ll hearing you have to drip the differential for the 4x4 version?!
Great video.
I'm sure my Tacoma with the 4.0L is the same way.
Almost up for an oil change and may go ahead with dropping the pan to clean it.

Thank you Brian I used your video to help me do my 2012 Tundra
Do your recommend use silicon or gasket for the oil pan?
@@nummi so the factory uses silicone. so I would recommend using that. Trust me they don’t wanna warranty it so they try to do the best option for them.
Didn't know 4runners came in 2wd too. Good video brian.
Gordon Freeman They’ve always had both 4WD and 2WD. Thank you for watching!
Bro said thin bead and then shows a giant turd 😂 thank you for the laugh.
What kind of spry did you use for cleaning and drying
Would you happen to know if this applies to all 4.0 V6s? I have a 4th Gen 4Runner and was looking to do this
I like Yamabond / Hondabond sealant
Does my 2011 4.0L Tacoma not require an oil pan gasket either?
Nice video as always Brian !
Thank you!
No gage over the oil pan ?
Thanks for sharing 🙂!
Lebron Jordan thank you for watching!
Good job
Imran Abbasi thank you!
I appreciate this video, but is there a specific torque for the oil pan bolts? Thanks.
My Oil pan threads are going out, do I have to replace the entire pan? or just the oil plug?
They sell some universal plugs that require no threading. I had the same problem on a different vehicle and i fixed it with a trip to O'Reilly's.

Could that be a rear main seal leak?
JoeLopez40oz possible
So you don’t need a gasket
I wished my old 83f150 was that easy! 🙁
Randy W. Brown 80s Fords are crazy to work on.
How to Automotive intentionally I believe.
Why is it so hard to find torque specs for this oil pan!? Not here either....
According to my Haynes manual, the bolts get 80 INCH-lbs of torque and the nuts get 84 INCH-lbs of torque. Note: INCH-lbs, NOT ft-lbs. Hope this helps!
Bolts are 9.0 NM of torque or 80in.lbf
I have a 98 3.4L and I swear it's impossible to replace without lifting the engine.
vampov You may be right. Sometimes the engine mounts will sag causing additional clearance issue
U have to take the differential apart to get 2 bolts on the driver's side out it sucks
easy money compared to a sequoia!
It doesn’t look like it was the oil pan. Maybe the sub pan or rear main
Correct. No.2 oil pan sub assembly
