JustGav Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Unless you have changed the coolant since you have owned it, I would suggest refreshing it and flushing the cooling system through, that way you know that is good as well. I'd even suggest considering diff oil as it isn't a difficult job either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 gearbox oil For autos this would be Toyota Type IV. for manuals I don't know as the recommended oil has been discontinued. power steering fluid - Dexron III brake pads, and fluid timing belt and aux belt ? if you don't know when/if they've been done.

snake Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 If your gearbox is an auto it will only take two litres of type iv unless you want to flush and renew all the fluid in the box .It cost me about £16 for 4 litres from mr t.If you change the power steering fluid ,there is a very good write up on how to do it in FAQ section. I use fully synthetic oil for the engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil filter from your local parts place (unless you want more of a posh named one). Fuel filter from Toyota, £30ish. Air filter, not sure as mine's not stock.
