Homer Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 When you say service, do you mean a fluids and filter one, or a full one? The full ones are rather extensive and labour intensive (eg shim check). I think we here can only recommend fluid and filter parts. IMO: Timing belt: Standard Toyota Air filter: Standard Toyota Engine oil: Silkolene 15w50 (6litres) Oil Filter: Standard Toyota Fuel filter: Standard Toyota Plugs: NGK BCPR7ES (If you are BPU @ 1-1.2 bar) Gearbox: Standard Toyota (6spd) Coolant: Standard Toyota Red (Though CW says any branded ethylene glycol is okay) Axle oil: Silkolene SYN 5 75w-90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razza Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 With the plugs is it worth the extra for the Iridiums? and what's the benefit over just the standard ones? This is in relation to BPU up to 1.2bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 anyone? See the spark plug thread / FAQ's in tech: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=41927 In short, Iridiums aren't worth the extra IMO. Cheers, Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
