First some facts: I have a 2002 IS 300. I know very little about cars I have a basic tool set, but nothing really for cars.
I am due for my 30,000 mile tune, so I spoke to the local garage about whats involved, and I was told:
- Change oil -
- Change Transmission fluid - 0 (without flushing it), 0 with flush
- Change coolant -
- Change brake fluid -
- Change air filter -
- Change cabin filter - Is that everything I need? He said that belts and spark plugs are not changed, just inspected. And I probably had platinum spark plugs, so I don't have to worry about changing them yet.
#1 - I can skip since I just had it done. #2 - A friend of mine told me that it usually costs about $50 to change the transmission fluid. Could my friend and the garage be talking about different things? Because there seems to be a HUGE price difference between the two. #5 - I saw where the air filter was, so I can do this. #6 - I have no idea where this is...is there a website that can show me how to do this. I figure I can do this with just a minimal tool set. #3 and #4 - I will have to have them do.
Thanks
