Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

*purrfection

 

Midwest Tinting in Lee's Summit. They do really good work and we've had three vehicles done there.

 

It's amazing how we managed to make a measuring system based off of water and it actually works really well lol.


I however usually measure on the banana scale. It's far more intuitive.

 

Hope everyone is doing well... Hate to ask.... Any recommendation on which oil to use for the transfer case? I have read 2/3 threads and watched a couple videos and it seems like 75W90 is safe to use on both diffs and transfer case? About to hit 15K miles and was going to do the swap this weekend and wanted to be sure I was reading everything correct.

 

3rd gen for transfer case, use the stuff from toyota or Ravenol. Not the same as the older ones.

I still haven’t swapped my transfer case. Toyota uses 75w in the transfer case which last I knew you could only get from Toyota. Some have used 75w90 and been fine, others have had issues with it.

75w90 is what’s recommended for the diffs.

are you doing the transmission too?

 

Thanks will order a couple of the Ravenol.

 

Thanks going to try the Ravenol I have seen people talk about.

Not yet. I would like to but have heard it was a bit more complex. Also have just thought about taking it to the dealership for that part but haven't decided to yet... I'd like to though.

 

I do 75w90 in all three, but I'm a second gen. I don't know if that matters. I also change the fluids twice as often when compared to the maintenance schedule.

 

I am certainly under the twice as often category as well. Have used Royal Purple so far and picked that up for the diffs just wanted to be "correct" for the transfer case.

 

I'll keep paying to have trans fluid changed on the 4Runner. It's just too convoluted and if it blows up I can blame them.
Luckily DP is 6speed.....

 

Yeah that was my thought... First time I read the how to I was scratching my head to make me think about doing it on my own.

 

Well the Ravenol won't make it by the weekend but should be plenty to do anyway

 

If you work up in the NW quadrant, I have some at the house I can bring it to work. Trade it out when yours comes in.

 

OMG hell yea! I ordered 3 (1 liter) of the Ravenol J1C1003 SAE 75W MT Fluid off Amazon that is not expected to arrive until the 17th-22nd but would gladly take you up on that offer!

Let me know what day works better for you and I can easily meet ya.

 

This might be a dumb question... But anything to grease under the 2020s? I know I have seen some people say the 2020 models do not have any grease "zerks" to grease but haven't looked myself...

 

I'll do my best to make sure I have it when I get home today. I'll be at work all day tomorrow(7-430pm) and saturday(7-2pm).
Whichever you wanna come by, I'll bring it with me to work.

 

YOU DA MAN! I will send you a private message tomorrow morning and connect the next day or two.

Thanks again I will owe you

 

Third gens are princesses and like to be treated special

 

No problem sir.
