    My friend has a 2018 Tacoma and his blinkers are acting up. He got a new blinker switch and some blinker fluid but we can't figure out where to add the fluid. Any ideas?

    It’s next to the muffler bearing fluid reservoir. Happy Friday!

    :eek: I think that’s like Visine Creed. Try a shot in one eye and see if all becomes clear. Otherwise dump it in with the headlamp fluid.

    Why is it pink? Is it made in Europe?

    Blinker fluid goes in here. Those square things in here are gauges. Blinker fluid should be at the top of those gauges. Best done by a certified mechanic.

    Don’t forget to lubricate the muffler bearing or it will seize up.

    You need to do a exhaust sample after to ensure proper measurements were added. :thumbsup:

    Realize you need a left handed crow’s foot wrench to access that. And don’t lose the dipstick return spring!

    I tried searching, not many results for blinker fluid. I also tried searching "what size tire can I fit with no lift" and got 872 pages :facepalm:
