High Mileage 4Runner Transmission Fluid Drain & Fill
Sup guys, welcome back to the channel! Same day, different task lol. In this episode I do an ATF drain and fill using OEM Toyota fluid. I’ve had pretty bad experiences with the automatic transmission in the 1st gen Tacoma after about 4 years of ownership not paying attention to the transmission fluid’s condition and maintenance until it was too late and I promised myself to try my best to avoid that with whatever vehicle I own from there on out so here we are lol. I do understand that it’s a gamble to change your ATF with high mileage especially if it’s never been regularly serviced before and some people it’s too late and you’ll only speed up the life of your transmission but the way I see it is if that’s the case then your transmission was on its way out to begin with so that’s something you can’t help. I decided to take the gamble, and if I can help prolong the life of the transmission by keeping up with fluid changes then why not? You either try and see for yourself, or have that fear of your transmission probably crapping out right after you change your fluid and still end up having problems later down the line once your mileage keeps climbing.
Good news though, after driving for a few months (this video was recorded in August 2024 lol) the transmission feels like it shifts way smoother than before. So now I have piece of mind, and a healthy 4Runner. So win win lol!
Do this at your own risk and do your research before you attempt to do this. I’m not a professional certified mechanic, I’m an electrician 😂

    It doesn’t make sense that changing the fluid would ever make any problems. 🤷‍♂️

    • @fortunestatushawaii
      @fortunestatushawaii День тому

      I used to think the same thing but after tons of reading, there’s several theories which I can see could be possible. I guess over time (without regularly maintaining fluid changes) the clutch packs, hydraulics, and all the moving parts in your transmission ends up wearing out due to friction etc and they end up having excessive gunk build up that sits in the bottom of the pan or in crevices of the transmission and once you change the fluid the newly introduced fluid picks up the gunk and ends up clogging the valve body or pistons in the transmission. There’s that theory and another one being that the transmission may be toast to the point where all that gunk is most likely what’s holding all the moving parts together to they’re “acceptable tolerance range” that once those fluids get washed away the new fluid will now be too thin to have the moving parts within their proper tolerance range because of all the wear in the transmission. Something like that lol. I do feel like it’s true, cause when I had transmission problems on my 1st gen the first time, I tried changing the fluid and it just came worst. But the transmission was already toast and the fluid I drained out smelled beyond burnt so I feel like it would probably do the same for a transmission that is still working but on its way out. I feel like we need to maintain our transmission before they get to the point of making its way out lol.

    Hey brother get the oil filter draining tool to drain the oil from the filter so no need the plastic tube to drain. Also please change the metal filter tube in the metal filter with the oem tube. Also don’t forget to put the black clip on the fumoto valve. It’s just a piece that prevents the lever spring from moving.

    • @fortunestatushawaii
      @fortunestatushawaii День тому

    You forgot to switch the inner filter housing from the plastic OEM to the metal housing. This prevents the filter caving in on itself. I’m curious to see the outcome on your next oil change.
