    I am all about doing it yourself, however, the fact of the matter is you can't replace all of your fluid... I like the powerflush, therefore, I am going to have the dealer, or some shop do it when the time is right!

    Actually you can! and you don't need a machine...there's a how-to in the stickies. Basically, you disconnect the line going to the cooler and let it drain from there into a pan as the engine idles.

    I've not done it on my Taco but I did something very similar on my Maxima and it worked great.

    After doing that, if you drain the pan every oil change or every other you'll keep it fresh.
