Good list. The only change I would make would be to go with the Denso Iridium plugs from URD.

 

I would go with Royal Purple Gear Oil, and Motor Oil but thats just my preference. I've heard Redline is OK too, only known a couple people to use it as oil in their motorcycles. Mobil 1 used to be really great stuff, but they changed it. Also ever thought of a K&N drop in air filter?

 

There's been a couple cases where the Royal Purple binds the rear end up in the sport models with LSD.

 

Great list dude, this should go into the FAQ's

 

Yeah I was considering getting these .

Cost is double though $11.95 but I might just pull the plug and get em.

Spark plug change at 30k?

I thought the stock plugs were good for 75k.

 

Yeah, sounds like overkill to me

 

No, the plugs in our V6 trucks should be changed around 30K.

 

NGK Iridium IX - LFR6AIX-11, these plugs tested at all in these Yota's

Why do the plugs have to be changed at 30K, I think my Altima service manual says 120K, I know it's an entirely different engine. But still 30K seems crazy, I know our Corolla has a higher interval too (Around 100K).

 

The V6s do NOT have iridium plugs. They need to be changed at 30k miles. Check your manual if you don't believe us.

 

The manual stated not to change the transmission. Am I suppose to?

I'm assuming you have an automatic tranny. Yeah the WS ATF is spec'd as a lifetime fluid. I personally don't believe in this, so I did a drain & refill at 30K and plan to continue this interval. I think the capcity is 3.2 qts but I just rounded down to 3 qts. Haven't had any issues in the 7k miles since. Not hard to do as long as you don't bother with the level checking instructions in the FSM. Again, 3 qts and call it a day.

At my 30k I also did a quicky throttle body cleaning: stuffed a rag in to hold the butterfly open, sprayed it and scrubbed with a toothbrush. If you want to be thourough, you can take the unit off and go to town with the cleaner. I don't know how much this helped, if any but i think 30k is a good interval.

Also, I change my filters at around 15k or 1 year. This is based only on the visual cleanliness (or lack thereof).

Other than that, my 30k tuneup was the same as yours, with different part manufacturers and fluids of course.

EDIT: clean & adjust the rear brakes a good thing to do at 30k as well.

 

when draining both diffs and transfer case, you can reuse the stock bolts and washers cant you. i saw in the list something about the washers. im about to change the rear out and run fresh oil for a couple k miles before i run synthetic in everything. rear diff has been submerged several times and i have no rear diff mod yet so just want to be safe before running new oil.

No, you're not supposed to. Crush washers are 1 time use only, they crush when you tighten the bolt. I suppose you could reuse them, but why? They're not that expensive. I'd reuse my oil drain plug washer, but not a crush washer.
