CHANGING FLUIDS IN VIGO

Postby Premera » April 16th, 2011, 5:19 am

People, so i sorted out the injector issue and for the tyres and she wukkin like a darlin.

I am supposed to get the Liqui Molly products for the fuel ( smoke & water ) and oil ( softer idling )

WHat i wanted to know is what other oils / fluids are to be changed and what parts needs to be greased / lubricated in the VIGO. ( i know brake fluid and power steering fluid and coolant is basic stuff but since i new to pick-ups and diesel i DO NOT KNOW what other fluids needs to be changed and how regularly.........

I wanna buy these stuff if not today by Monday to complete service....

Thanks in advance for your advice / recommendations

- Change the diff oil (can't remember the viscosity - but TTTL would know, or at least try calling and asking other stores)
- check your belts for wear and tear
- have your shocks checked
- do an underwash & greasing of the suspension (if you havent' done so in a while)
- have your brakes checked - both front discs and rear drums, and have the cv joint and boot rubbers checked

That's pretty much it really.
There's a couple of Hilux service manuals floating around here on the forum, a quick search should get it for you and IIRC there might be a service interval table in one of them. If not, try google for Hilux 3. D4-D service intervals.

Have a look through here if you've having trouble getting around the engine too.

The Toyota Hilux global service information center.
http://toyota.esealtd.com/toyota/hilux/index2.html

I had a read through and I couldn't find anything about service intervals though....

You could also try joining on www.newhilux.net
