Jack and jack stands, Socket set, Wrench set, Transmission fluid, Drain pan, Fluid pump or turkey basterThis video covers how to do a 60K service on any 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner! It shows how to do a transmission fluid change in full detail. I also break down an insane dealership quote and reveal how much money I saved doing this work ourselves. The local dealer tried to pull some weird tricks over on us that you have to see to believe!
AFTER WATCHING THIS... head to my 30K Mile service video that covers the remainder of the job in complete detail: https://youtu.be/Qv-045pX36A

*LOOKING FOR A PDF OF THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL?* Search eBay or other sources for "5th Gen 4Runner Factory Service Manual." There's usually one available for around $12. Please don't ask me to deliver a large PDF I purchased to you personally. It's weird that I have to say that. But please don't. All messages asking for it will be ignored.
