Fitz Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 So hopefully if everything goes to plan the 3rd NA engine will be going in the Supra this Saturday so thought it might be best to do a little service on the car just to keep my chances of not breaking this one as high as possible. What things are worth changing whilst we have the opportunity to do it and any brands you can recommend? Things like oil etc and what quantity I would need. Or anything that usually wears down an is ideally replaced. The donor car hasn't been in the country long and has about 70K on the clock (unsure of service history) Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Josh42 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Oil - I use genuine toyota semi synth, (10w 40 I think) Oil filter Fuel filter Air filter Spark plugs Distributor cap, leads and rotor arm Coolant - Toyota Red 4 life Break fluid - DOT 4/5.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 + with being a new engine and your unsure of history Etc, I personally would do Cambelt, tensioner and idler If you really wanted to do a full service, you could change your diff and gearbox oil too.

Fitz Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Haha. I won't be changing anything big on the car. Just small serviceable items or things that may break given general age and wear. Plus, I need to make sure that James is OK with the mini service I have planned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 In terms of oil/coolant/brake fluid etc. how many Litres would I need to buy? (Apologies for what may seem a silly question) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Waterpump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Waterpump? Heard that's a bit of a hassle to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Its less hassle than breaking down or having to do it with the engine in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightsix Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Heard that's a bit of a hassle to do? Not if the lump is in front of you - and worth doing if replacing the cambelt (as well as all the idlers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 If no one else tells you, when I get home Tuesday night/ Wednesday, I'll look in the service manual and tell you how much of what you need. Off the top of my head, its 7 litres of oil, 2 litres of power steering fluid, and 3 or 4 of brake fluid. Don't quote me on that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
