Pushing my luck after 19 years Shopping now for OEM starter and alternator for my 04 runner. Both starter/alternator are original and at 260,000+ miles work fine daily. Going to start running to lake (3 hour drive) more frequently this summer so it is time just to be grateful and do some...

would like to know your thots/Firebird Car Care Nut (does alot of excellent youtubes on Toyota--10 year master mechanic with Toyota), has a youtube on changing trans fluid in toyota trucks. His opinion is that due to the fine balance between debris helping fortify the clutch pads and too much...

Flushing and replacing tranny fluid in 2008 and 2009 runners Just for those who are curious about doing a full flush and replacing transmission fluid on 2008 and 2009 4runners. I paid $200 each ($400 total) to have both flushed and refilled with synthetic (valvoline maxlife synthetic) couple...

I have 3 4runners in family, changed to synthetic after first 25k in all 3 and change differential every 75-100k in all 3. None come off pavement. I think going 100k between changes is fine. All now approaching 300k, all good.

replace differential at 75k and drain and fill transmission at 100k on daughters and wife's 4runners. Pavement only, typical driving, very little towing. Use mobil 1 synthetic, valvoline synthetic in trans. Both trucks now over 250k, zero issues.

Use Mobil 1 also, change differential every 75k transmission every 100k. Pavement only, typical driving....very little towing. Both runners over 250k no issues.

Wife and daughter's 4runners both over 250k, always on pavement....normal use. Have always changed differential at 75k (always looked good), and transmission at 100k (just drain and fill). Synthetic on both.

I go 75k to 100k on my wife's and daughter's 4runners between differential changes. Both are going strong at almost 300k miles. Same on transmission drain and fill.
