Just bought a 2000 4Runner v6 with 165k & decided all the fluids were about to explode & needed to be replaced. Here's what I did & if you've done this before, please give me you opinion.
1. Transmission drain & fill 3x with about 3.8 quarts each time. Autozone's house brand of Dex2/3.
2. Rear Diff with 3 quarts. Lucas 80w-90 (not synthetic). The old oil looked clean.
3. Radiator, thermostat (replaced), engine & heater core got an old time garden hose flush method. I used the $32 Toyota coolant & was so angry with this price that I tried to save $1.50 & used tap water like the dealerships do instead of distilled water. I also had to spend $7.10 for 3 little crush washers, what a joke.
4. Mobil 0w-40 & Mobil EP filter. (we use this in our racecar).
5. Fuel filter. (It looked rotten, Autozone house brand).
6. Brake Flush with Autozone house brand.
7. Power steering was done a couple of years ago from previous owner.
8. MAF & fuel injectors cleaned by previous owner last year to pass emissions test.
9. Anything else missing???:shrug:
