    Taking my 2015 sr5 crewmax into the Toyota dealership next week for the 120k service. I was planning on having them do the following service

    coolant change
    Spark plugs
    Mass air flow & throttle body clean
    ATF full fluid change
    Both Front and rear dif change
    Transfer case fluid change.

    Anything else you guys would recommend? When doing spark plugs do you do wires to?

    Lots of folks here discourage doing the full ATF fluid flush, maybe something to investigate before having them perform it. Good luck.

    When it comes to transmission fluid, flushing beats changing


    By RAY MAGLIOZZI

    Dear Car Talk:

    My 2000 Jeep Cherokee needs fresh transmission fluid. What would your honest answer be about the benefits of “flushing” the transmission versus a transmission fluid “change”? — Francois


    Well, I wouldn’t flush the whole transmission yet, Francois. But you should flush the transmission fluid.

    When you just remove the drain plug and rely on gravity to remove your transmission fluid, only a little more than half of it comes out. All of the dirty fluid that’s sitting in the torque converter, and many of the passages, just stays there and contaminates the new fluid.

    So a flush is a better alternative. We use a machine at the garage that connects to the transmission cooler lines. And, while the engine is running, it sends new fluid in and captures the old fluid coming out.

    And because it pushes out the old fluid with the new fluid, you get a complete change of fluid. If your transmission holds, for example, 14 quarts of transmission fluid, 14 new quarts go in and 14 old, dirty quarts come out.

    It costs about twice as much as just opening the drain plug, but it’s at least twice as good.

    If you’re going to the trouble of changing the transmission fluid, you might as well actually change all of it, right?

    Awesome read so now I’m confused on what to tell them I need done. Do I ask them todo full flush or a drain and fill.

    Read all the posts here discussing this from people who deal with Tundra's, or believe a talk show host talking about a 21 year old Jeep.
