Time for the DIff and tranny fluid change, anybody have a step by step prosess on how to do this?
i need how many cans of toyota ATF fluid?

this is not harder than an oil change is it?

i did a search couldt find it, but if there is a link to it, let me know! thanks

Changing Fluids
Your Owners Manual will tell what fluids to use. For the Differential I would use a 80-90wt gear oil and use a LSD [Limited Slip Differental] additive. BG Products has a tube of LSD.
For the Trany, use the new T type IV. The Aus'ies say the trany shifts better. You only get about 2 qts when you drain from the trany drain plug. To get all the fluid, you really need to have a Power Flush. This removes the fluid from the Torque Converter.
If you don't want to go to a Lexus Shop, then any Toyota Shop can do the work.
Don't forget to replace the Power Steering fluid. I do mine every two years. The procedure for this is on the Supras.com site.
Also the Brake Fluid should be flushed every four years.
Another item that needs to be done is the Fuel Filter.
