This 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!

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.
