Just did this on my 2017 GX today. This made me feel a lot better about using Ravenol for my T-case as well. I just pulled the nozzle right out of the bottle and it poured right in. No pump needed. Used your video to do the rear diff yesterday. Thank you. Keep the videos coming.

@Cocora22 Жыл бұрын
I just did this today. The Ravenol works great. On the top of my bottles there are 2 D shaped. rings. You pull up on them and the bottle neck expands. Before you unscrew the cap off completely carefully pull again and you will extend the fill tube and then pull off the cap. It was great and made it super easy. In fact I saved those bottles and next time I'll transfer my Amsoil to those bottles, because even the Amsoil squeeze bags aren't as easy as the Ravenol container!! Again another big thanks for your videos!!!!!!!!!!! By the way I also did the front and rear differentials. My truck only has 20,000 miles and there was. a lot of gunk on both magnets. So I'm very happy I did them. The transfer case fluid looked good. Total spent today on 2 differentials, transfer case and grease on the drive shaft including all new gaskets about $110.00. Total cost of tools, gadgets, my time jack stands ect. probably $1000.00 😂😂😂😂

I dont care about the noise, but thats a noise my 41 year old jeep should be making, not a lower mikes let alone new car with a chain driven t case. Checked front diff, rear diff, and t case. All low, t case not as bad but still low. Both diffs seems to have fine particles in it. Ive seen worse chips, but thats in clapped out jeeps with 300k miles, towing and offroad miles included. Like i say more chips then a 2020 should have. Paint was intact, plugs were a little rusty. You can tell no ones ever checked it. Exact same thing as when my dad worked at the chrystler dealer, and grandpa ran into the same issue with my jeep back in 1981. It has 800 miles and the transmission was low. Dealer prep there suposed to check the stiff cause they ship from factory a lil low. Idk of its for spils or just cause 1 ounce on 7 milion cars adds up to alot of $ saved but this is why my dad always says "if you want the job done right you have to do it yourself." We have never hired a mechanic or anyone hardy to fix anything unless under warrenty. First new car my parents ever bought and so far not impressed. This is why i am the warrenty on my own car, also why i dont let anyone AND I MEAN ANYONE touch my car with there dirty meat beaters. Cant trust the work of most mechanics. Had wheels come loose even cause the shop was too lazy to tighten lugs to 80 ft pounds or whatever the jeep requires.

But I use this pump from Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J8331U6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1I I fill a graduated bucket with the fluid and fill from there. You were right on the Ravenol containers needed channel locks to remove the freakin caps!

Roughly 1.5 quarts. Just buy 2 quarts and fill it till it oozes out. (=

I'd assume the drivetrain maintenance for the 4Runner Limited w/ Torsen Full time 4WD system is identical to the Lexus GX 460 maintenance?
@GXBOB5 ай бұрын
OoOoOoooohhhh, not a 4runner person even though a lot of parts are transferable. I'd ask someone in the forums to get confirmation.
@mattb96645 ай бұрын
I ended up checking then Owners manual for fluids- the 4Runner Limited (with full-time 4WD) uses the same drivetrain fluids as the GX460.

Bob, I am getting some transmission flutter and am told a drain fill or three on the sealed automatic transmission would help solve the problem. Do you have a video on this, or could you point me to one that you recommend? I got the WS ATF I just need a good tutorial or walkthrough....the dealer told me its a sealed unit (duh) but this is my last hope before I have to sell her or pay big $$$ for a new trans....
@GXBOB3 жыл бұрын
Oh damn....SZ, all the ones on youtube right now are pretty straightforward. I specifically liked the one where the guy brought the fill tube all the way to the top of the engine and attached a funnel instead of using a Pump while under the car. But if you are in a pickle right now and need it done ASAP, i would just take your ATF WS and go to a mechanic. Mine charges $85 for WS and labor. I"m sure yours will ask you for $60 or so bucks to drain and fill w/ your own fluid. Sorry i haven't gotten around to doing a Transmission one, been super busy.
@muhammadbasharat75487 ай бұрын
Did you use both bottles of TC fluid? Or did you measure it on how much was pulled out?
@GXBOB7 ай бұрын
Neither. I think you’re thinking about the tranny. You just pour or pump until you see seepage out of the fill hole.

i totally agree. I'm glad there is a product that is compatible. I have been using 75w-90 in my other transfer cases only because there hasn't been solid proof that it will do damage.

@GXBOB3 жыл бұрын
Yeah i don't mind using unicorn poop but i hate the fact they portioned it so that you have to buy 2 cans and waste half of one just to do a oil change. You end up with half a can that will sit in storage for another 30k miles. By then, so much crap has fallen into that can, it will deem useless.

Yes, CRXB, they are all part of the 2nd generation GX series. The bad on my part is because i keep separating 2010-2013 from 2014 and up is due to the changes in design (front end). Everything else is basically the same. I need to really re-title my videos to just GX460 whenever possible.

Well technically you're supposed to use Toyota compatible 75W, not 75W-90. But if you search the forums people use 75W-90 all the time. If you want to play it safe then use the ravenol that is toyota compatible in my link.

Hi Bob, I gotta say you're an inspiring Asian. This is from another Asian. I read from dealer's service list on the transmission maintenance. It mentions that dealer also replace the transmission oil filter. Is that just bullshit? May your manhood last and prosper.
@GXBOB2 жыл бұрын
Did you mean this (link below). If so, yes you’re supposed to when you do a full tranny flush and fill. I do quick drain and fills in between at shorter intervals that’s why i didn’t replace mine yet. I tow a trailer and a boat often so i replace my tranny oil before the 30k interval’s. I usually do it at 15k. www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Lexus-Toyota-Transmission-Strainer-35330-60060-TUNDRA-GX460-LX570-OEM-/153130775083?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

@@GXBOB I bet that's what it is. I am planning doing the transmission flush since my 60K is coming and mine still has the warranty on it. I don't have many options here but going back to the dealership. But with your video, I am planning on changing the oil every 30K myself. Thanks.
