James I don’t doubt that at all, I’ve had my fair of that myself.
Out of all Toyota engines i work on (25 years) this 5vzfe is my favorite. Still using timing belts. I love these.
I didn't even know these 3.4s _had_ an oil cooler. My 96 Taco with 340k+ leaks worse than my 7.3 diesel which is saying something. Thanks for giving me something to check.
You rock! Especially showing that the gasket can be removed and replaced without taking the houses off. Extremely helpful, thanks.

Houses=hoses Darn spell check.
Like how you’re so happy. When I’m doing these repairs, I’m cursing and screaming the whole time.
Love the calmness and joyful mood. Awesome video Faye
Excellent explaining on this repair . Awesome 4 runner , too !
I love these videos Faye. You always sound so happy.
Nice and straightforward. Good work.
Always very informative. Thank you!
I can't help but smile when I watch your videos
you do a great job and you take the time to break down the process. You go girl!!!!
I always enjoy your videos, if for nothing else your infectious laugh and the chickens.
Another awesome Faye! Keep up the great work! I almost died due to the adorableness at the end video!!

Awesome video as always. You are always so informative which is wonderful.
Always great content and editing! You’re a natural for the camera too! Cool stuff
I always learn something from your videos. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Faye I love your posts. You are helpful and cheerful. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the informative and entertaining video. Even after a hard day at work you lift my spirits thanks.
Your such a happy go lucky mechanic! Good details Faye!
Great video, Faye. I appreciate that you always specify what tools are needed and torque specs. for the job that you are doing. Keep up the great work...and the chickens video clips at the end.
I ran across your videos from doing a YT search on Toyota engines. Go figure. It's nice to see more women getting into the automotive repair business. I taught general basic mechanics (car care really) for a few years and a few women really got interested back in the 1970s. All I could do was to refer them to either a trade school or community college, since none and I do mean NONE of the local dealerships were willing to take in a lady and teach them. I congratulate you on all your accomplishments. Plus your personality and enthusiasm make you the perfect roll model for women who want to wrench. Keep up the great work. You taught this old mechanic a few things too. Moe

Just love your videos and those chickens, I always wait for them at the end. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
I don’t even have a Toyota but I love watching these videos and learning, great video Faye 👍😁
Neat video. That Shell Rotella T-5 is great oil along with the Valvoline VR-1 full syn. you mentioned in a previous video. Glad to see you use quality engine oils. 🙌
I am glade you show how you do it and what may happen ,because you are really doing and on somthing we would be working on , not the super clean, new and spotless car show cars. And you inspire people to try it them selves.
I love your videos you have saved my 4runner from the junkyard over 100 times by now
Super vid. Straight to the point!
I just got everything to do an oil change and the oil pan gasket...now I'm gonna check that first. Perfect timing! Thank you! Also...love the chickens.
You are one of my top favorite mechanics on you tube. Very quick to get to the point no messing around . You explain things so people like me can understand thank you. I wish i knew half of what you have forgotten lol
That was a great video. So informative, and such a how to! Loved that you showed part numbers with your repair!. I was hoping I could reuse the rubber coated washer, but I see better now lol. TY!
I think I might have this leak. Thanks for a great video showing me how easy the fix is!

I'm happy to see your maintenance clips on your 4Runner, "Grim". I've got a 99 3rd. gen too. These rides are coming into 2 decades of being around! They keep running strong if maintained properly. The 3.4L motors are great! Thank you for all your efforts on your channel! Keep up the good work! 💜
Great to see a lady choosing a career in mechanics., You are Awesome...........

So did the deed this weekend. Ended up having to remove the hoses as the gasket had hardened into black concrete. Had to chip it out carefully with small flathead. My recommendation to others would be just do this at time to change oil and rad hoses and fluid flush. Kill all birds w one stone. I did also replace the smaller hose since it was out. Now engine is oil free and beautiful! THANK you again for vid! NEVER would have tackled this otherwise! ✌
So, wish I had found this video a couple years ago. My 3rd Gen has had a slow leak since I bought it 4 years ago. Found this video, checked out my cooler, and sure enough, leaking. Bought the parts and changed it out last week...not a drop of oil on the concrete since! Thanks
you do the same thing I do after a repair . looked under the car for leaks. a good habit to get into!
Just recently stumbled across your channel. Love it!
Great video. I just bought an almost identical 4 runner. Trying to track down a few leaks.
Once again, searching for a solution for something for my Tacoma, I find one of Faye's videos. Thanks so much for the help. You're awesome!

I was about to drop the oil pan glad I watch this video hope it’s the fix
Always enjoy the hack out of your videos, you make them so fun to watch. Also love when the chicken makes special guest appearances 😃🐔
Another fun video Faye. Thanks.
I am a Alaskan and payed for a 99' T4R sr5. It has been my Dream mid size SUV growing up. You have Helped me save some $ diy, as well as double check with the manual to get things checked off my list. ❤ your channel, Helping others learn & keeping T4r's running out there still. Keep up the Hard work out there.
The sounds you make while wrenching are much more pleasant than those I make. I just did rocker cover gaskets on my 2012 Forester with the engine in. Just a little more than an inch and a half clearance to get at the bolts, clean the old RTV and get the rocker cover back on without messing up the new RTV bead. The sounds I made were much less family friendly. No giggles at all.
Faye your so awsome home girl your a inspiration to tackle the day with a smile..
Just did this repair following your vid and it went great, and that leak is finally gone. I don't have a lift so I definitely suggest taking off the wheel if other people wanna make a mess in their driveway like I did. It's a tight fit, but doable! Thanks for the guide!
Cheers! This was excellent. Great video. That's a healthy looking 🐔 at the end. Thank you!
hello, you are great, i have two Toyota's 1990 ex cab 4x4 3.0 and 1993 Toyota 4 runner 2wd 3.0...... I just want to say that watching your video made the repair's sound fun, i do most of my Owen repair's but sometime's you need to see it from a different angel, anyway's you made my day, thank's i will be back.
Having the same problem. Your a life saver. Thanks for your help 👍 🙂
Hi Faye! Excellent video! I just bought a 95 T100- 3.4 today and it’s leaking pretty bigly from that area as well. I look forward to using your channel as a maintenance resource. I love working on my Toyotas (most of the time 😎). Peace and coconut grease! *New Subscriber*
ok, just did the valve covers on my 2001, super cleaned all the old oil up, drove it for about 200mi. My oil cooler looks like yours pre-surgery. I almost went for the pan gasket, but, clearly there is oil dripping from the cooler. Looks easy enough, thanks for the vid.
Is it just me or anyone else loves it when she points to her name tag when she says her name....keep up the awesome work girl..
Have to do this on my Celica, and was looking for the torque spec on the bolt! Was thinking 30-40 lbft, as its only a banjo type fitting! Thanks for the demo 👍
First time I come across this beautiful lady and I really enjoy the video... i learn something new keep up the good work ❤👍👍
Great video. As always, short, sweet and right to the point. I don't know how you don't end up covered in oil while trying to video. I end up covered and I'm not even trying to film. lol Be well! Jim
Another great vid 👍 keep em comin. 🇦🇺🍻
Great video!! You make everything seem so simple to fix!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thanks for sharing this video, interesting and informative. Thanks
Grim Repo is gonna be one bad ass parts rig while you own it Faye. You rock 🎸
being a Toyota expert technician I recommended the oil pan on this same year model 4runner now I feel bad cause I should have checked the oil cooler gasket thanks for the helpful video. (applause yayy whooo) next time for sure
Thanks for sharing this video, great information provided.
Thank you Faye! Awesome
Love your posts Faye. You’re so giddy it’s awesome! 😂👍
I enjoy your videos!
Very helpful video !
This was great, Faye! I didn’t know that part existed on my 99. And it most assuredly is causing much of my “messy lower engine”! I’ll be doing this repair. Your video was well executed too (even with all the giggling). 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing your video,great information provided.
Good job, I too would have fixed that leak since it was in a component that could cause a pressure leak. Those engines remain remarkable almost leak free at high mileage. Most of them I work on have in excess of 150,000 miles and other than seeping around the oil pan and valve covers, they are pretty dry engines.
I love those funnels I have one for my Dodge charger
Another Excellent video!!!! Now I have to check my 3rd gen as I have a similar leak!! Thank you so much!! P.S. I loved the episode of Girls Garage - Kia STINGER upgrade WHAT A GREAT EPISODE!!! Keep up the good work. See ya on the forums (4runner). l8er
Love the vids.
You are the best! love your videos!!! Great help, thank you!!!!

Only if I had known you didn't to take the coolant hoses off, also you made putting that thin on ring back on to easy👍👍👍
I like these shorter videos. 👍👍
I know it's a big bolt, but being hollow I was surprised at the 43 torque spec! Great video. I really need some of those pipe cleaner style wire brushes, but they all seem expensive.
I really admire your joie de vivre. 👍
Love the gap before chicken vid, never sure if there will be one so aways watch all the way to end.
Great video, thanks!
Damn it, I should have seen this video before I did my oil change. Now I have to wait for 3000 miles. I love that Faye is fixing everything I need to fix on my 3rd gen 4 runner.
I'm glad I run into this video. I have to check underneath my 4runner.
Good job, Faye!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another great video.
Love your videos
If Mechanics were this HOT in my town I'd pay to get work done on my rig :), but for now I'll do it my self ..:) thanks for the cool vids Faye!
I noticed you have on if the screw-on oil funnels. I have one for my Subarus. Very convenient.
Great video Faye, also I like the chicken you have as a pet.
