don't need to do much at that point. make sure all the fluids are where they should be.

does ur car not have the service manual??

at 36000 KM make sure the oil is good and the air filter is clean.

Thanks,

I got no service manual, i read somewhere about iridium plugs do you think all 2003 come equip with that and are they suppose to last longer.
Somebody know a site where i can get schedule for maintenance
in order to do the work myself

Thanks

try www.toyota.ca -> service -> maintenance menu

the iridium spark plugs and timing belt are good for at least 100,000 km.

i'd removed the spark plugs and reinstalled them with anti-seize applied to the thread. just to make sure that the plugs will not be 'welded' when it's time to replace.

The ZZ family of engines use a timming chain, no belt so you don't have to worry about that.

Do those iridium plugs come with they're own coil pack or is it a traditional plug?

^The 1zz-fe has a coil-over-plug ignition but the coil is a separate part from the plug. So I guess it would be a "traditional" plug if that answers your question

Thanks Chris that does indeed answer my question.

I was looking at the B-Series of engines from honda last week and suprised they used distributors.
