HI there. I have been obsessively doing maintenance on my new 2001 UL. It is a beautiful car and a great find at 97000 miles. Aside from the radiator exploding, no big deal!! I have done a lot, and I am wondering if there is more I should be doing? The timing belt, water pump and all that has been done, so I am just doing maintenance now.

Here is what I have been doing
--Replaced radiator
--New Toyota coolant
--Clean throttle body
--Clean MAF
--Automatic Transmission fluid drain
--Synthetic oil change
--Power steering fluid change

I love this car and want to keep it going strong!!

 

rear differential would be about it

 

Replace Thermostat with Gasket - some dealers don't include this with the 90k service
Replace Brake Fluid
Replace Drive Belt
Replace Air Filter/Cabin Air Filter/Front seat air filters
Drain and fill Rear Differential
Check Lower Control Arm Bushings to see if cracked - usually need to be replaced around this time.
Check Hood Struts
Check trunk struts
Check to see if coolant was flushed out or completely drained vs. just replaced what was lost with 90k water pump service.
Check alignment
Check tires for wear etc. - makes a huge difference if they're not "good"
Check windshield for cracks etc.
Check Door /Weather Stripping
Replace Wipers

Make sure you have a wheel lock key if equipped.
Always good to have more than 1 key.

 

Thats on the list. Ok so my car overheated when the radiator blew up. Could that have damaged the thermostat? That was changed with the timing belt.

 

Was your water pump replaced as well?

I did the rear diff on my 430 a week or so ago. I used Mobil1 75w-90 synthetic.
