engine oil cooler and transmission cooler

I dont have the truck, looking to buy one....
does the engine oil cooler and transmission fluid cooler need to be change too after a while too?
More stuff needs to be done uh?

 

Engine oil cooler and tranny fluid cooler are not stock items in the Tacoma, so nothing to change.

 

As I understand it on 2nd gen. trucks with the towing package just change proper fluids at the required intervals as both are incorperated into the main radiator already on the truck.

 

when u get the tow package, it would be a stock item.

I dont mind doing oil, transmission, and axle fluids. but I never I would need to change the cooler fluids... sounds like more work that needs to be done

 

On the newer generation trucks - The tow package gets you the transmission & oil coolers - atleast on the TRD sport. I have it.

The *coolers* don't have separate fluid - so there's nothing to change.

The engine oil is pumped through the cooler...and you change your engine oil regularly. I wouldn't worry about the 'residual' oil left in the cooler. It'll get cycled through with the new oil. Nothing to worry about.

Also...same goes for the transmission... the transmission fluid is pumped through the cooler. On the newer truck - the transmission fluid doesn't need to be changed till 100k miles (per the oem recomnedations).

 

thanks!

 

My bad....manual trans does not have an external cooler, only the autos.

 

The manual transmission only has the engine oil cooler, while the auto has both the engine and tranny cooler.

 

I am towing and need to get the Engine oil cooler and the trany. Where is it located on the towing tocomas?

 

Do you have the towing package? If not, you do not have one.
