3rd Gen Maintenance Maps - Get 300k+ miles

Thanks for the response. I assumed synthetic but wanted to ask anyway. As far as the dealer I bought my Taco from, I’m gonna ask them again and if they say they won’t service the tranny then I’ll ask why and press for an answer. But then again if they finally say yes, then do I really want them to do it ? I think not and will go to another dealer anyway. I’m a bit reluctant to do the tranny myself.

 

(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 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.

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.
