Timing belt, distributor cap & rotor, spark plug wires, coolant, differential oil, engine oil, bushings (steering rack & control arms), transmission fluid, alternator, valve cover gaskets.

Just a list to start off with.

I was browsing the forum and came across this. You might find it useful because I'm in the process of restoring my SC also and I sure did...

So far, I've found out that the SC400 maintenance/service info/tutorials/DIY is lacking on needed resources. Some admin told me to search. I can't even find info/step-by-step on changing the oil or spark plugs, etc. RIDICULOUS!

found this with three simple words.

"change spark plugs" https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=103316

Some admin must have been right. You know what else? There's one for the V-8's also.

Now that.... is ridiculous when it is right there.

Well, that's a little better, thank you. I don't know why I can't find things I'm looking for but I have been searching hard.
