    FYI, the cup holders have inserts that come out. You might consider removing them for the super size bottle of lube that you carry. But for God's sake, keep at least one hand on the steering wheel at all times.

    Dude. People have told you multiple times that you don’t need special Toyota fluids but you keep ignoring them. Why?

    I'm not ignoring them.they are not recommending of any brands to use. And there are more than 50 brands of liquids and parts.but no one is talking from experience.it was only one guy who recommended OEM coolant and I bought for $27...it ain't made by Toyota but it's specially formulated for toyota SUVs so I got it and I'm happy.anyone care to share ?

    Since everyone is looking here, which way do the crush washers on the differential fill ports face? Flat part toward the bolt? Or flat part toward the diff?

    You shouldn’t own a car. You’re clearly an ignoramus who fails to listen and to learn. Just do whatever you want and leave please.

    Changing all fluids on a new to you car is a good idea, you have no idea what kind of maintenance previous owner did. Early fluid changes are better than late fluid changes with better fluids.

    If you want top of the line care and can't do it yourself, be prepared to pay for it. Taking it to the dealer would result in OEM fluids, but most mechanic would oblige if you ask they use OEM fluids in advance. No matter what you do, don't take your car to a quick oil change places.

    If you decide to DIY, I recommend starting slowly and with easy stuff. Oil change. Tire rotation. Don't attempt coolant drain or brake flush as the first thing you do to a car, unless you already mechanically inclined in other areas.

    If you can't or won't do car maintenance yourself, this is perfectly fine. I don't do my own plumbing either, even if I could learn it. I do, however, research enough to understand what a plumber telling me so I could make informed decisions on recommendations I am given.

    The dude can’t fill his own washer fluid. Do you think he can accomplish any of these other tasks?

    Well, it's not always easy to tell how much of the bubble-wand dipstick is wet.
