    2006 4X4 Double Cab TRD Offroad. Automatic...120K miles all on dino oil.

    Please recommend me the best oils - brand, weight, etc... for

    Rear diff
    Front diff
    Transfer case
    Coolant
    Power Steering Fluid
    ATF
    Engine oil


    I assume, OEM oil filter, air filter, aftermarket cabin filter (save $), and OEM spark plugs will be optimal?

    Thanks.

    ATF u have no choice safely......go with toyota WS

    Coolant use oem red

    Engine.....5w30

    As for ALL filters, I've found the best deals at the dealer.....buy a couple oil and air/cabin at 1 time and get a break.

    Napa and kragen couldn't even come close.

    Plugs also should be oem

    2wd w/ off road package here - for the rear differential I use Mobil 1 75-90 syn...works great. Would assume that the same could be used for the front, although others would know more though...

    I have 06 toyota tacoma 2.7l sr5 per-runner truck. A little off the topic here. I've just been adding water in wind shield washer fluid, is this a bad thing. Does it really matter? Will just water instead of washer fluid make a difference regarding the water pump for the wipers?

    unless san diego has a really hard freeze i think you'll be ok. the washer fluid is probably better than water at getting the bugs/road grime off though.

    Ya, the dealer ship here said water has minerals in it, and can cause a build up, and maybe cause problems later. Said screw it and just went and bought some windshield washer fluid.
