    You can get cabin filters at Walmart from Fram. They have aRm and hammer baking soda infused in them and it was $18. Perfect fit and truck smells great! If you have dogs, smoke, or never shower, then the baking soda's a real plus!

    If you do the power steering fluid... Most toyotas call for ATF, I believe.

    Always use a GL-4 for the transmission. The Redline MT-90 is a great product.

    I like using something a little better for the rear differential like Amsoil or Redline. I usually over buy for those. So I would buy 4 quarts for the rear.
    $30 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75w-90...You could try 75w-110. I believe 140 is overkill. Also, there isn't a need for Redline Shockproof. There is no real answer as to it's longevity.

    I would use the same oil for the front and transfer case as I would in the rear differential. All I do is buy more than I think I need and drain and fill it till it starts pouring out then I quickly plug it back in and torque it.


    Some transfer cases that take ATF CAN use Redline MTL... It has been used with great success in Chevy 2500HD transfer cases that call for ATF, not Auto Trak II.

    I personally go 5,000 between oil changes, but I will cut it short if I remember that I drove it hard or if the conditions were severe.

    I also use an oversize oil filter for peace of mind. I generally use Mobil 1 filters. I use an M1-209 for the 2.7l. It is about the same size as the Toyota filter. The rest of the stock replacement aftermarket filters are smaller. M1-209 or equivalent has a lot more area for flow and filtration.

    I have yet to clean out the throttle body. I remember seeing some gunk in the intake when I had the head serviced. I can't wait to do it.


    Happy servicing!

    Oh and K&N filters are nice. I have one. Haven't seen any dirt bypass the filter yet. I usually use Marvel Mystery Oil to re-oil it.

    I definitely change mine more then once a year if that is what you mean by your $20 a year. So I figure it to be beneficial to just be able to wash it and move on without wasting time and money to drive and buy a new one. Or pay shipping to have then delivered. Feel it's a better option in the long scheme of things

    Also, make sure you use Toyota coolant (not the green stuff.)

    Don't forget to leave room in your budget for things you may find that are warn out. Such as serp belt, brakes, etc.

    You may also want to rotate your tires

    Yeah I'll check all that as well. But tires are fairly new so not concerned with those. Thanks man!
