Little help with changing all the oils
Hi all! I called Toyota today to see how much it would cost to get all the oils changed. Both diffs, tranny etc... Whew.. Really expensive.. I'm going to give it a go on my own. I found Bobs guide, looks good to me! The only question I really have is that I have an automatic tranny... Where do I find drain/fill plugs for it. I read also about the difference between flush and fill, should I be concerned? If I just drain, instead of flushing, should I just change it more often? I have a '97 4runner ltd..
Thanks!
Andy

Andy,
A flush is where they hook your auto tranny to a T-Tech machine and completely flush out all of your old tranny fluid w/ new fluid. You'll need 16 quarts of ATF, not to mention around $120 bucks for the service!
A fill is where they drop your pan, clean off the filter, change the gasket and fill it w/ about 4-5 quarts. So its not a complete flush.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong here or anything that needs to be added/edited.
PM me if you need some Amsoil
