Use that link, but this is the info in case you can't for some reason.

 

Brake Fluid

Stock = Dot 4

I recommend DOT 5.1

Capacity ~1.5L's (Have 2L's ready)

DOT 5.1 = Motul RBF600, Castrol SRF

Interval = Every 12months (also after any track day!)

 

Power Steering Fluid

Stock Dexron III ATF

I recommend you stick with Dexron III oil but all makes should be suitable

Capacity

Interval = ???

To fully Flush it see here

 

Coolant

Stock = Toyota 4Life Red

Capacity ~9L

I recommend you stick with Toyota Coolant.

Interval = 30,000miles

This should help you with a coolant change.

NB: 4Life changes colour as it get older, when it starts to turn a more browny red compared to it's vibrant red when new then it needs to be changed. Also 4Life comes premixed and needs no other liquids mixed with it.

 

Halfords also do their own coolant which I used. It was slightly cheaper than Toyota's and about 10 miles nearer :)
