Hello once again. The car is pretty much due for an A service. Will be taking him to a local indy.
1. What oil should they use
2. Seem to remember it uses a special Toyota coolant.. this correct?

ps love the way the noise steps up a notch past 5K revs! Did a long run to get some fuel early evening.. it's great to have a car that's fun to drive again.

Oil wise it was designed when Mineral oil was the thing. Castrol GTX 15w-40 will do fine. Or if you fancy keeping it a long time get a fully synth. I'm thinking a 10w-40 fully synth would be fine. (Someone might tell me i'm wrong though.....happy to be corrected.)
