This thread relates to the first service that we do to our VR4s on arrival to Australia.
The information below has been pulled from other threads about servicing, but joined together, so hopefully this becomes useful to others. I havent serviced mine yet, but I am compiling this info to make things easier for when I do get it done (hopefully very soon).
Please let me know if I have missed anything (and there a few blanks to fill in) or if I have made any mistakes.
What serviving related items are changed in compliance?
Brake pads
Brake fluid
Charcoal Canister (what is this? part number TAC-CAN-01)
Fuel Filter
Oil Filter
Air Filter
Wiper Blades
Checks to be performed:
Check timing belt condition
Check timing belt tensioner
Check water pump
Check condition of Power steering fluid
Fluids/parts to be changed:
Engine oil (use a fully synthetic 0w30 or 5w30)
Oil filter (use Z411 or Z142A - use Z142A - its bigger in size than Z411, but they both fit)
Flush cooling system (what coolant is recommended?)
Automatic Transmission flush (what fluid? new filter too?)
AYC diff flush (SP3? Is it just the fluid?)
