Ready to pull the trigger on an 04 Neptune Blue AWD

Post by It'saVibething »

It has 51000 miles on her and looks sharp. We bought it for our daughter but may have to take her when she is not driving. I know it is the same as a matrix so i hope the quallity is there. Is there anything i should do to her first as far as maintance? Anyting to be aware of??

Tires are good new rotors and brakes. How hard is it to change the trans fluid?

At the moment I'm using Toyota synth 0w-20 and I'm in the process of flushing the 5spd with TDH fluid (long story there - never put a GL-5 fluid in these Toyota manual transmissions) then I'll be going back to Redline MT-90!
