    Just changed the front & rear diff fluid as well as transfer case fluid in my wife’s 4Runner. I was shocked at how dirty the rear diff fluid was (43,000 miles). This 4Runner is a pavement queen, my wife only drives around town ,few trips never pulled anything and only been in 4 wheel drive a few times. Transfer case and front diff looked new but the rear was awful. So take his advise and change your fluid at 30,000 miles. Great advise from a pro. Thanks

    I wish I had seen this video about a month ago. I finally broke down and bought wiper replacements for my 17 Tacoma and 14 4 Runner. I used to buy inserts for my older Tacoma (12). Since the last time I bought inserts I got a different truck and I moved. I went to TOYOTA in my new town and asked the parts guy specifically for inserts. Not the whole blade. He told me that the inserts were just as expensive as getting a whole new replacement unit. He sold me those things you just said not to buy. I changed the wipers on my truck with no issues. One of the wipers for the 4 Runner was to long. The wife took it to the dealer to swap it out. Which they did. They also changed the unit out on the car. BUT they threw away the original wiper. Now I have a spare set of housing for my truck and one original for the 4 Runner. I just checked the cost of the inserts. They are half the cost of what I paid. I know. I should have done that first. Little things like that make me avoid the dealership like the plague. Nothing on you. I just hate high presser salesmen trying to replace my blinker fluid. Im not knocking anyone that works as a mechanic at a dealership. They are not the problem. Love the channel by the way!

    Original factory wipers with replaceable rubber inserts can be bought from Denso under their Denso Designer series for half the price of the dealer. It is the same exact factory installed part if yours are missing. Also, the same exact A/C refresh kit can be bought from Subaru for half the cost: Subaru P/N SOA868V9315.

I kept the arms as you said sir as I know they are great quality ( I learnt from my experience).

    Exactly, Most Toyota AC last as long as 20 years unless we live in a very hot climate where the rubber gaskets start leaking. Replacing all these gaskets, vacuum, and charge the right amount of refrigerant. Cabin filters must be cleaned regularly/yearly.

    I remember as a youngster and subsequently teen driver, full service gas stations where one get new wiper inserts installed while the cavernous gas tank was filled all for about $20 including a pop and maybe a Snickers.

    Thanks for doing these videos. There is one more requirement when it comes to gear lube - API GL-4 or GL-5. My 2004 Tundra manual transmission requires GL-4 to prevent corrosion of soft metals. My Tundra requires GL-5 in the rear dif. The transfer case and front dif can use either GL-4 or GL-5. I use royal purple synthetic because it works for both GL-4 and GL-5.
    Another lubrication issue are drivelines. My front driveshaft has four zerk fittings and my rear has seven. I use synthetic grease for my drivelines.

    Our previous vehicle, a 2011 Sienna had some of 5he best windshield wipers I’ve ever used in over 40 years of driving. Our climate here is on the rainy side. ( around 150-200 days a year with precipitation ) . Those OEM Sienna wipers lasted almost 4 years without a chirp or a streak. I replaced them just because, with the blade inserts and those also lasted almost 4 years. The 2017 Highlander we bought after trading in the Sienna had good wipers for about 3 years. When I went to the dealership to try 5o buy inserts the service guy said they don’t make them anymore but they have Toyota branded full blade replacements that are reasonably priced. These wipers are pretty good but don’t last more than 2 years before streaking and “ flopping”. Since I threw out the OEM blades I can’t just replace the rubber inserts. The rear wiper blade is extremely easy to change if you understand the process. I was pumping gas and 5he lady on the other side of the gas pump was looking at her rear wiper blade that had the rubber coming apart. She told me the dealership said they would replace it on her next oil change. I showed her how to do it herself and probably save a few bucks.

    After having gone through several of your videos, I am learning how my local dealership has been ripping me off. I always nodded yes to their laundry list of to-do things every 5000 miles I took my vehicle there for maintenance. And how one time, they didn't even change my engine oil cause they said the color is good and Toyota can comfortably run for 10,000 miles without needing an oil change. I am furiously looking around for workshops that give basic car maintenance training for car noobs like me so these local dealerships don't rip me off next time. Next time, I am going to ask them to change just my engine oil and tire rotation, that's it.

    Four rhino ramps and I drive all the tires up on all four at the same time. The thought of being under a car on jack stands scare
    Me this is like a mini lift that enables access to rear diff transfer and trans pan. I only use two to change engine oil.
    The four rhino ramps work great on trucks and suv and aS a DYI mechanic on my vehicles. I have a Corolla hatchback manual on order
    So I will be a three Toyota family. You should consider demonstrating the four rhino ramp concept keeps the vehicle level

    AMD, interesting commentary on Sightline wipers. In my experience with Sightlines they last much longer than most equivalent aftermarket wipers. I can get almost 2 years out of a set of Sightlines, cleaning the wiper strip periodically with alcohol. I know it is time to replace them when they start to chatter but the performance of Sightlines has been outstanding for me. To each his own I guess. Onto a different topic - for the GL-5 do you have a preference for synthetic or non-syn, does it matter and when would you use one over the other? As always, thanks so much!

    AMD, I think the most important part of differentials you need to perhaps enlighten users is the LSD vs NON LSD options. I know all oils today have LSD additives wether you have a LSD differential or not, but for those who are thinking of using a NON LSD gear lube, your explanation will be appreciated.

      All my cars in the past smelled really really bad and I I would have to use those ac bombs , which got pricey every 60 days . I have found on my new car it automatically turns on recirculation as soon as car starts . Now that my car is 3 years old and 37,000 miles on it I have done this since day one 2 mins before I turn car off I just turn the ac off and keep the air blowing and when I don't need the extra power of the recirculation I turn it off and my car smells just like the day I bought it. It's really cool how everyone one can share and we all learn something .

Oil….my tundra has LSD, even has a button to shut it off….is this the oil I should be using on mine as well?…only changed it once at 50k I used a Amsoil product, need to change it again but want to make sure I’m not causing damage by using anything other then the Toyota LSD oil.

    I learned a long time ago that wipers are seriously important and OEM was the only way to go. Bosch blades would work in a bind, but the cost now is such that there is no saving money with off brands anymore. With Bosch there are so many variants that the one you need is not the cheap one in Walmart. There are 8-10 Bosch blades and there are real differences. On top of that, they sell them by marketing names and not by engineering decision making information. Actually off brands could be 1, 2, 5, or even 10 dollars cheaper but why risk your own health and safety buy using wipers that my smear, streak, or otherwise fail to perform when needed. When needed means that your visibility is reduced and you need a clear windscreen. Why risk injury to yourself or others for a few dollars?

    I just got an 06 highlander with 300k, the dealer service book steps are completely signed off.
    Every oil was black, I had to replace the previously replaced power steering line also.
    The transmission filter was a giant pita. I had to grind a through socket to get 1 bolt. 3 others tested my tool collection.
    The tranny filter was the biggest improvement. It looked clogged and collapsed. A weird shift was fixed with amsoil and a car quest filter.
    I still have a weird road noise, I’ll continue to investigate brakes and wheel bearings until I find cheap used tires to replace Yokohamas in case it is tire caused.
    Edit, someone gave me a raincoat wiper set. Bosch icon is in my future
