90K Service on 04 ?

[4ll4boutda4play]

The Service light has light up on the wifes runner.. from what I could gather with the owners manual its time for the transmission and diff fluids to be changed. is this correct? would you recomend doing this myself or taking it to a shop to have it done? do i need the code reset or does it do it on its own after the change?

Heres a thread on Tranny Fluid changing.

Seems easy enough to me. My 05 has 61K on it and I was thinking about replacing the trany fluid just for the hell of it to see how easy it really is. Got nothin else to do today.

Per Toyota, the 90k maintenance on a V8 consists of the following:

• Replace engine oil and oil filter
• Lubricate propeller shaft (4WD)
• Rotate tires
• Replace timing belt (2UZ-FE)
• Re-torque propeller shaft bolt
• Replace engine air filter
• Replace cabin air filter (if equipped)

Make sure you replace the tensioner when you do the timing belt. I would let a competent dealer do the timing belt, then do everything else myself. The diffs you can do in about an hour, tranny probably a bit longer.
