Original factory wipers with replaceable rubber inserts can be bought from Denso under their Denso Designer series for half the price of the dealer. It is the same exact factory installed part if yours are missing. Also, the same exact A/C refresh kit can be bought from Subaru for half the cost: Subaru P/N SOA868V9315.

Just changed the front & rear diff fluid as well as transfer case fluid in my wife’s 4Runner. I was shocked at how dirty the rear diff fluid was (43,000 miles). This 4Runner is a pavement queen, my wife only drives around town ,few trips never pulled anything and only been in 4 wheel drive a few times. Transfer case and front diff looked new but the rear was awful. So take his advise and change your fluid at 30,000 miles. Great advise from a pro. Thanks

God I am watching these non-stop from part 1 to this one and I really enjoy it. I recently bought and replaced all the wipers of my Corolla 2012, using the prefill ones from the dealership. I kept the arms as you said sir as I know they are great quality ( I learnt from my experience). The thing is that the prefill wipers from the dealers are only $5 more than the after markets ones...I bought them with the spark plugs and air filters saving me the trip driving around 🤘

I wish I had seen this video about a month ago. I finally broke down and bought wiper replacements for my 17 Tacoma and 14 4 Runner. I used to buy inserts for my older Tacoma (12). Since the last time I bought inserts I got a different truck and I moved. I went to TOYOTA in my new town and asked the parts guy specifically for inserts. Not the whole blade. He told me that the inserts were just as expensive as getting a whole new replacement unit. He sold me those things you just said not to buy. I changed the wipers on my truck with no issues. One of the wipers for the 4 Runner was to long. The wife took it to the dealer to swap it out. Which they did. They also changed the unit out on the car. BUT they threw away the original wiper. Now I have a spare set of housing for my truck and one original for the 4 Runner. I just checked the cost of the inserts. They are half the cost of what I paid. I know. I should have done that first. Little things like that make me avoid the dealership like the plague. Nothing on you. I just hate high presser salesmen trying to replace my blinker fluid. Im not knocking anyone that works as a mechanic at a dealership. They are not the problem. Love the channel by the way!

Thanks for doing these videos. There is one more requirement when it comes to gear lube - API GL-4 or GL-5. My 2004 Tundra manual transmission requires GL-4 to prevent corrosion of soft metals. My Tundra requires GL-5 in the rear dif. The transfer case and front dif can use either GL-4 or GL-5. I use royal purple synthetic because it works for both GL-4 and GL-5. Another lubrication issue are drivelines. My front driveshaft has four zerk fittings and my rear has seven. I use synthetic grease for my drivelines.

Our previous vehicle, a 2011 Sienna had some of 5he best windshield wipers I’ve ever used in over 40 years of driving. Our climate here is on the rainy side. ( around 150-200 days a year with precipitation ) . Those OEM Sienna wipers lasted almost 4 years without a chirp or a streak. I replaced them just because, with the blade inserts and those also lasted almost 4 years. The 2017 Highlander we bought after trading in the Sienna had good wipers for about 3 years. When I went to the dealership to try 5o buy inserts the service guy said they don’t make them anymore but they have Toyota branded full blade replacements that are reasonably priced. These wipers are pretty good but don’t last more than 2 years before streaking and “ flopping”. Since I threw out the OEM blades I can’t just replace the rubber inserts. The rear wiper blade is extremely easy to change if you understand the process. I was pumping gas and 5he lady on the other side of the gas pump was looking at her rear wiper blade that had the rubber coming apart. She told me the dealership said they would replace it on her next oil change. I showed her how to do it herself and probably save a few bucks.

AMD, interesting commentary on Sightline wipers. In my experience with Sightlines they last much longer than most equivalent aftermarket wipers. I can get almost 2 years out of a set of Sightlines, cleaning the wiper strip periodically with alcohol. I know it is time to replace them when they start to chatter but the performance of Sightlines has been outstanding for me. To each his own I guess. Onto a different topic - for the GL-5 do you have a preference for synthetic or non-syn, does it matter and when would you use one over the other? As always, thanks so much!

I would appreciate, to make a video about transmission fluid, on 3rd gen tacoma.. the proper way, you know oil still remains in the converter..

I loved your comments on the high quality of Toyota wiper blades and rubber inserts and that you can possibly use on non Toyota cars. Will Toyota wiper blades fit cars with J hook type of wiper arms? I would love to use Toyota wiper blades instead of lousy aftermarket ones for my non Toyota cars that have J hook style arms. Thanks!

After having gone through several of your videos, I am learning how my local dealership has been ripping me off. I always nodded yes to their laundry list of to-do things every 5000 miles I took my vehicle there for maintenance. And how one time, they didn't even change my engine oil cause they said the color is good and Toyota can comfortably run for 10,000 miles without needing an oil change. I am furiously looking around for workshops that give basic car maintenance training for car noobs like me so these local dealerships don't rip me off next time. Next time, I am going to ask them to change just my engine oil and tire rotation, that's it.

Hello and thank your for all your great content, I've been stuck hearing your video while working, I'm a lexus apprentice. Quick question, I currently have a is300 with a mk3 1997 lsd that was installed before I purchased the vehicle. Now what type of fluid should I put in that particular diff gear ⚙

Hi! You’d want to have a limited slip additive with the oil. Otherwise you’ll have chatter on turns

Awesome channel! Talking about older Toyota models a huge plus and newer models. About the Tacoma with limited slip differential. The Liqui Moly website mentioneds for this vechicle limited slip requires 75w-140 gear oil. I'm concerned because its GL-5 like you mentioned.

@simonmoreno4757 2 жыл бұрын

I could show you the pictures but like you mentioned you recommend the 75W from Toyota. This Liqui Moly lifetime fluids the reason why I asked.

For the limited slip as long as it specifically states that it’s for limited slip diffs then you’re good

Thank you very much!!! It’s a really good idea to change wipers insert part only. I did it for my rear wiper. Price for wiper in dealership was $30 but price for inserts was only $9. I changed it myself for 2 minutes 🇨🇦

Thanks so much for these videos. Extremely helpful! What do you recommend for service intervals for replacing power steering fluid? I have a 2012 4runner SR5, Thanks!

@TheCarCareNut 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! There’s no real interval for these. Typically every 5 years or 50k miles is what the industry average is but honestly I would look at the fluid. If it’s clear and clean I would leave it alone

@justinhoung7067 3 жыл бұрын

Great thanks. I’ve watched your 4runner series and it was great. I do have a question though. I know the engines are known to be “noisy” but is a whine under acceleration normal for that engine? I’ve heard mixed reviews but no real problems associated that I’ve found. Some people have had fixes and some people haven’t. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

@TheCarCareNut 3 жыл бұрын

Honestly I would have to listen to the whining noise to tell you if it’s normal or not. The 4Runner does have somewhat of a loud engine though.

Hi! Hybrids have actually less maintenance than a conventional gasoline car. Only additional item is the hybrid cooling system. Perhaps I’ll make a specific video on hybrids in the future. Thank you for watching and for your suggestion.

@richardgraham65 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for these interesting and informative videos, they are very useful. A question for you, I know that you are in the USA, but you must have a similar truck over there (Maybe the Tacoma?) that is similar to the trucks we have here in Thailand (where a lot are manufactured for export) We have the Toyota Hilux Vigo, D4D, it is a 2.5L Turbo Diesel with Intercooler, called the "Champ" - it is usually rear wheel drive, many are built using the badge "Pre Runner" which is basically a bit of a body lift some underbody protection and identical to the 4 x 4 versions except without the front diff and transfer case. so basically a rear wheel drive version of what might be a Tacoma So you have any servicing info on these trucks? Getting info on them is not that easy here, the manuals provided by Toyota are not too clear as they cover our version and a different version that ships to the Ukraine. What I am wondering about is the engine oil - Toyota do not specify on the filler cap, they only provide those temperature guidelines in the handbook. I was wondering if I should use fully synthetic 10W30, semi synthetic 10W30, fully synthetic 5W40, fully synthetic 10W40 or any other oils? Toyota only specify "Genuine Toyota Oil" with some obsolete ratings like ACEA B2 CL- CF etc. We normally have ambient temperatures that never drop below about 10C but can reach 45C - looking at oils, to me it would make sense to go for something like 10W40, but I need to be careful as this has a catalytic converter, a DPF and uses an EGR system, any suggestions? Many thanks!
