1st gen going all synthetic

I have an 02 regular cab 2.7 liter and I am wanting to change ALL of my flids to synthetic...
What all can I change, and what products (names and product numbers) should I use?
Also changing plugs and wires, any thoughts?

 

change the motor oil, transfer case, both diffs....and if you really want to, you can go as far as changing the brake fluid and power steering fluid over to syn. too. mobil1 and royal purple are good and you can get them locally......amsoil is good too, along with redline.

spark plugs and wires.....stick with denso or ngk plugs.

just remember....transmission fluid may be the type t-iv....only from toyota. you'll need to stick with this if this is what your tranny calls for.

 

^^^^ Dont forget the blinker fluid too.....








Sorry... dont want to derail the thread hehe

 

How did I know this was coming

 

Thanks Taco, means a lot...
Got to take care of my baby
You have any idea on a ballaprk price for all excluding the labor?

 

Thanks a lot
Do you remember how much of each application you used?
Oh and what products did you use?

 

Hey man, do you remember what type of fluids you used and how much you used of each?

 

for the engine oil.......5.5 quarts with the 3.4 v6.....and we used mobil1 5w30, for the diffs and transfer case....mobil1 75w90, rear diff was about 3 quarts, front diff was a little over 1 quart, and the transfer case was a little over 1 quart....get 6 quarts to be sure you have plenty, then you'll have some left over if needed. on the transmission fluid.....toyota type t-iv, and it was about 4 to 5 quarts....just depends on how much drains out. buy about 6 quarts to be on the safe side(you can come out cheaper buying a case of the toyota tranny fluid...just a heads up).

anything else i can answer...just ask.

 

sorry to jack this thread, I have a 01 2.4 cyl 4x2 and was wondering what fluids I could change and how much of each will be required other than the Oil..Thanks
