Your local Toyota dealer will have all of the oils you are looking for.

The Toyota transmissions are particularly choosy. I would only use Toyota fluid. The full oil capacity of the transmission is around 8-9 quarts, but a simple drain and fill will only require ~3 quarts.

The diff takes SAE80, 80W-90, or SAE90 gear oil. If you are in a hot climate (over 18*C), favor the SAE90. If you are in a cold climate (below 18*C), favor the SAE80. If you are in a four season climate, favor the 80W-90. Capacity is 1.35 quarts.

Not sure about the spark plug gap on a 1JZ.

im pretty sure the gapping of the spark plugs varies with the spark plugs. Some plugs require certain gappage and some require none at all.

i kno that most bosch spark plugs come pre-gapped. if u ask the guys at autozone they will tell u wheter or not they are already gapped for u.

i think the gap is .434 cm i think denso lists the gap on their website
am too lazy to find that page now but am pretty sure it exists

Plug gap will depend on your boost level, but I'd go with .028, and adjust from there. Make sure you get feeler gauges when gapping, not the lil', flat, circular plug gapper they have sitting in a bin at the register of Autozone!

Thanks for the info. I currently run stock boost, my car is completly stock exept cat-back & coil-over. For the diff oil can I put 75w90 syntec in?

Thanks for your help!

I'm sure 75/90 would work just fine. If you want your tranny to have a bit of a better feel to it, you can use some of the higher dollar fluids if you'd like. I run Neo 75/90 in my race cars, but it's very expensive. It just depends on what you wanna do.
