Default 2000 Es 300 maintenance list

Hello

My car is due for some major maintenance work. It's a 2000 and daily driven. Mileage is 160k. Brakes were just done. Local California car.

The things on mind to change out are:

-Timing belt
-All belts
-tune up (flush all fluids and sparks)
-O2 sensors ( code being thrown)
-water pump
-suspension (shocks and struts are done)

Is there anything else that I need to add/remove? Any recommendations on after market parts? Thanks.

Sounds like the evap system/charcoal canister? Could be the sloenoid. Id say go oem on t belt and belts, the suspension is probably the only thing Id go aftermarket.

He says he is getting a code for o2 sensor. Just swap it out. You'll get better mpgs and the code should go away

I agree swap out the bad one but do not change all the sensors here.
