Trying to think of what else, I know some of you recommend changing out the differential fluid (front and rear?)......is there also power steering fluid?
No power steering fluid....our cars have electric steering.

Yes on the diff fluid change.

Since you'll be changing the air filters, you may as well clean the MAF sensors, as they are right there. underneath them. CRC makes a MAF cleaner and you can get it just about anywhere.

I highly advise using Toyota 0w20 oil. It's priced right and is a quality oil custom made for our engines with a high % of moly in the additive package.

If you haven't changed/flushed the brake fluid, this is also required.

Trans fluid change if you like.....hotly debated here on CL. You're choice. FWIW, only the US market states that the fluid is "Lifetime". Every other market requires it to be changed on a regular basis - my manual states 60k miles or so, (I forget the exact number).
