3rd Gen Maintenance Maps - Get 300k+ miles

(Small disclaimer, reposting here as I'm just trying to ask around)


Curious, but anyone ever notice that in brand new Toyota Pink coolant straight from the dealership, it has these fiberglass looking floaty crystal looking things?

I later even poured some out into a cup, and sure enough they haven't left the chat.

Also should be noted, I didn't see any in the coolant I drained, just in the coolant I put back into the truck.

Is that normal? Do they melt with heat or time?

Never heard of or seen anything like it before.

 

@Soft Taco any issue using Valvoline 75-90 synthetic in diff's? Or should I try and fine Mobile 1 or Redline?

 

I use synthetic Mobil 1

$28 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 in my diffs and OEM 75w in the T case. Your Valvoline will be just fine.

 

This is good stuff, thanks!

 

Very valuable info! I like that part numbers and torque values are listed. Is it possible to list fluid quantities?

 

My pleasure! More to come!

Thank you! I left them off on purpose as many of the tasks are drain and fills and you decide how much fluid you want to run through to refresh/replace.

 

Fantastic work. Wish I had something like this back with my gen 1 Taco.

 

No Inferno Orange?

 

Im going to pump out some fresh 3rd gen arts in a bit with a regular trim instead of an overlander style. Will this appease if one is inferno?

 

Heck yes!

 

Pro Trims available for download now in original post as well as in channel shop. Apologies for the wait.

 

Hello
these DIY vids are fantastic ? oil change , to simplify oil purchases is it ok to just use 6qts ? will the .2 be a factor? Thanks

Alright gents, I’m going to cautiously promise a 2.7 chart in the next two weeks.

 

Really appreciate this!

 

appreciate it too on the 2.7 chart! Look forward in seeing it!

 

I just want to sleep... I havent seen family or friends in years... the Canadians want kilometers... the I4 bois want I4 charts... I have created my own hell...

just messing, a promise is a promise. Still hoping to have to yall in the next 14 days. If not done by then... SCOLD ME

 

No scolding from me, only praise. Love these graphics, I have posted pointers to your threads and site a couple of places.

I appreciate the work you are doing. Don't get burned out.

 

I was totally messing. I love doing this. A passion project for me. Thanks brother

 

Sorry I missed this. Always check the dipstick and look closely. The .2 I still recommend. I tend to buy everything 5qts so the remaining second 5qt can be used on the next change etc.
