If you've got the cash, buy it... I've consulted lomomike and this is his candid opinion.

Do's and Dont's.

1. Buy OEM parts.

2. Scan your car whenever the CEL comes up

3. Avoid Kazeems.

4. Always refer to your manual when in doubt.

5. Post your problem on Nairaland before going to a mechanic workshop. You won't believe what you will learn here.

You seem disappointed with comments so far with this response and sounded rather hash. Quite unnecessary.

However, the car in question is rugged, reliable and durable. The recommended engine oil is 5w30. There's the synthetic, semi-synthetic and mineral oil of this rating. The choice of which to use is yours. I think the recommended Oil Change Interval (OCI) is 5000 miles, absolutely imperative to stick to that. Do not remove the thermostat and connect your fan directly. This will be your Achilles heel with the car.

Buy original parts & as already suggested by someone else, scan when malfunction indicator (cel) displays on the instrument cluster. Never use a roady (Kazeem). Seems expensive but cheaper in the long run. Please use radiator coolant instead of water in the coolant compartment. Original parts are a bit pricey but they worth the efforts.

Keep you car clean at all times and engage in preventive maintenance rather than fix when broken. Above all, drive with caution, observe traffic rules & respect other road users. Again, don't engage in an unnecessary competition with other drivers in a bid to shows off the strength of your car. Good luck.

there is no major difference between the 04 and 06, they are both big daddy. If you can't get the recommended coolant, then I suggest the Total coolant sold at 350 for 1litre green in colour but if you are willing to spend more, they have a new coolant product sold at 1200 for 1L which is pinkish in colour, the green one expires within a year but both are good for aluminium engines. Remember to do a flush not top up.

As for maintenance, use your recommended engine oil weight, original filter, brake and power steering fluid, inflate your tyres to the right PSI also download and read your owners manual, it will give you insight on how to maintain your ride

don't try total coolant. it leaves some silly slimy deposits in your cooling routes. use only genuine Toyota long life coolant.
