Sorry if anyone thought this was going to be another porno thread ;)

The motor is getting serviced next weekend, Im using the following bits:

Valvoline Synpower 5w40
Gen. Toyota Oil Filter
Gen. Toyota Fuel Filter
Gen. Toyota Air Filter
Gen. Toyota Timing belt
NGK BKR7E Sparkies
Type IV Autobox fluid
ATF Dextron 2 P/S fluid
Full coolant change

Is this the best stuff for each application? Anything else need doing or should be looked at?

Car has done just over 69k miles - didn't have a FSH when I bought it as it was maintained by a mechanic so I am not fully sure what needs doing.

I want a clean sheet so that I can start the mods... :)

Thanks :)

Gaz.

Maybe an auxilary belt as well, depending on how it looks.

Diff oil. Supposed to be changed every 36000 apparently.

Leon Drained the 50,000 mile sludge from mine yesterday. I was quite shocked to see the difference in oil colour and more importantly, all the metal shite stuck to the magnetic drain plug:eek:

Cheers matt, forgot about that 'un...

Any specific oil for that?

BTW I know brake fluid is missing, I am doing that in one hit (pads,discs, re-paint calipers, braided hoses) later on...
