Gents, just picked up a 2005 Sequoia for my wife (and for my own occasional use towing the racecar).
Vehicle: 2005 Sequoia V8 4.7 4WD
Mileage: 90k, with some service records and oil was recently changed. I don't have specific records of what service was done, but it appears to have had most scheduled maintenance at Toyota dealer according to Carfax and Toyota Owner's site. That said, I plan to change everything, so looking for suggestions.
Driving style: Wife puts about 8k per year on her vehicle, almost all local/short trips with the occasional road trip once or twice a year. I will be using it probably 3-4 times per year to tow our Lemons/Chump car or my rallycross car on a trailer (~4500lbs), with brake controller, etc. IIRC the Sequoia has a stock tranny cooler.
So, I'm looking for suggestions on all fluids from the expert masses here, with the Toyota 4.7 being a well-known quantity as far as engines go. For engine oil I'll keep with a 3k mile OCI so would prefer a reasonably-priced dino or synthetic blend oil. If I can buy it at Wal-Mart (e.g. Rotella) that's a plus.
Also plan to do brakes (will use ATE Blue/ATE Gold), both diffs, transfer case, coolant (will use Toyota Red), and transmission (multiple drain-and-fill).
Front diff and TC use 75W-90 and rear diff uses 75W-140. I don't mind using synthetic for the drivetrain if suggested, though would prefer not to drop Amsoil or Motul money on it if there is something cheaper that is just as good.
So, fire away with any suggestions, thanks.
