1990 Camry Wagon DX Oil???

[zppeacock]

Im picking up a 1990 Camry Wagon on Wed hopefully. Its got 231,000 and I just test drove it today and it runs perfect. There is no owners manual in it and I was wondering how many quarts of oil it holds? And any other things I should replace/clean after I pick it up. Its starting to rust (Wisconsin winters) but for $800 I couldn't really not buy it.

My v6 holds around 4.5 quarts not sure about the 4 cyl.

I4 has about 4quarts but spec is 4.3 but i always used 4 w/o any problems

Thanks any other things that I should replace?

oil filter... check timing belt & other belts... radiator hoses?? ... new coolant? you have to ask for the history of the car

Ok, thanks

Can anyone link me to the correct transmission filter kit?

Check the spark plugs condition, you can tell a lot. Also consider replacing wires/cap/rotor if they look old.

Any Recommendations on a plug brand?

ngk or denso

Im running Bosch platinums in my 87 Sedan no problems so far with them .

Other than NGK and Denso, the Bosch Platinum are the only other plug that I've had luck with. Avoid Champion at all costs...

Got it today, while I was testing all the power windows the drivers rear went down and didn't come up. So I had to pull the panel and loosen the motor to get it in the up position and then unhook the power to the motor.

While I was driving it home 10 miles about half way the check engine lite went on, I didn't feel anything wrong and when I turned it off and then back on the lite went off.

I picked up alto of parts today that are going to get put on hopefully tomorrow.

Run a diagnosis on the check engine light, and fix it before it gets worse and/or causes other problems...probably an O2 sensor fault.

[zppeacock]

How do I do that? I saw the diagnosis box under the hood

Well today I changed the oil, oil filter, plugs, air filter, and tranny fluid/filter.

Seems to be running great for a 231,000 mile motor.
