    Hello everyone. I just joined 4Runners.com. I have been the proud owner of a slightly used (14,000 miles) Galactic Grey 2008 4Runner V6 2-wheel drive since Halloween night of 2009 which currently has 225,000 miles on it. I have finally completely ditched the Dealer because I am now retired and widowed and simply can no longer afford their exorbitant price gouging. So, I will probably be on here a lot as I venture into the DIY universe. I am currently trying to prepare to tackle the tasks of changing my automatic transmission fluid and flushing out the cooling system and changing my differential fluid. I have already had to change my MAFS and PVC valve.
    Any advice that anyone has concerning these things would be greatly appreciated. At the moment, I am wrestling with trying to figure out how to monitor the ATF temp in order to properly adjust the fluid level.

    Happy 4Running!

    When it come to fluid changes I prefer Walmart parking lots. They have good price on fluids and you just park over a storm drane and pull the plug. Problam solve.
