A quick copy paste from the service manual, ignore the image links as they are links from my local HDD and for some reason I can't edit those out.

I ended up going to this Toyota website and paid 20 bucks for 3 days of unlimited access to their car manual documentation online. Can't remember the site but just google it and then enter your car model and it has everything you need
