stevie_b Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Oil: I would use 10w40 fully or semi synthetic. Coolant: you can use 4Life, but I wouldn't. Any ethylene glycol based coolant will be fine (it says so in Toyota's workshop manual). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris and Alana Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I used halfords advance coolant, it is ethylene glycol based and it's not too expensive. I think it was about £15 for 4.5l concentrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
