90K service help

[Adamkatz]

I have a 2008 V6 SR5...

It's time for my 90K service and I really don't want to pay for crap I don't need. I already had my water pump replaced and there is no timing belt. Do I need to replace the transmission fluid? The dealer said there are 2 types with a huge difference in costs. What else should I do or not do?

Buy 12 qts off of ebay. Get TOYOTA WS fluid.

Also check brake fluid color- flush if needed. Drain and fill coolant - you will need 2 gallons.

All of this maintenance is very easy if you can turn a wrench.

I'd change out your spark plugs as well. Very easy to DIY.

you don't need to buy a WS fluid. I've changed my transmission fluid using AMSOIL and had no problem so far. you'll need around 14Qts if you want to flush it yourself.
