Thanks again a to all. For now I'm going to drain and refill, but in the future I will definitely consider a full flush.

Thanks for all the posts they are much appreciated. I just can't be doing the full flush right now, I don't even have a friend that could help out. So, I'd like to do a drain and refill but still wonder what fluid to use. I know one poster recommended toyotas aft. Would it be horrendous if...

Yeah I see your point. I see nunyabizs point too. So, what is the actual recommendation of the owners manual. I see it says "replace auto transmission and diff oil". I take it that means just the drain and refill? Maybe the theory is if you are adding about 25 percent new fluid often enough...

Great vid. I'm not up for that diy at this point unfortunately. I found this link on here and the flush seems like something you want a good mechanic doing. Transmission Flushing I can't imagine the average mechanic getting all that right. Is there a list of recommended Toyota mechanics for...

my truck needs a auto transmission fluid change, but I just got it and am not sure what type of fluid to put in there. Am I correct in thinking that when I pull the plug and drain from the tranny, I am only getting a small portion of the tranny fluid, correct? Is it ok to mix types of fluid. I...

Thanks. I'm reading on Toyota they recommend no extension of interval. That's obviously ultra conservative though, and may not even apply to 98's? My vehicle uses conventional motor oil, but I?m thinking about switching to synthetic motor oil. Can I do this?

i just bought a 98 four cylinder and am loving it. It has been running on Dino oil and I'd like to switch to synthetic. I read on mobile one site they recommend the first change to synthetic should be a short interval with both oil and filter. Make sense, or marketing ploy? In any case, I have...

Thanks a bunch for this. I have a 1998 4Runner. I take it the 2002 fsm is the one I am looking for because they are so similar? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.

hello all, I thought some here may have experience with this. I just bought a 4Runner in California (private sale) where I am living temporarily. I am now headed up to oregon to live permanently. I searched online but I am still unclear on how I am supposed to register this vehicle. It will be...

Curious if this sold as well.

I sent you a pm but it didn't show up in my outbox. I'll reask my questions if you didn't get it. Look forward to hearing from you.
