I dont know:
I know theres a few other seals I need but I dont know that technical term.
Wheres the differential located and what type of fluid does it take? 75w90

Anything else guys?

I'd ask if you have an AWD RX or not, because that's going to determine if you are going to have to change out gear fluid, 75W90, in the rear differential & transfer case, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...sfer-case.html

You might want to take a look at our list of DIYs here, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...x300-diys.html

As they include a lot of the things you are planning to do for 90K.

Seeing your buddy is doing it for you cheap, you might want to check the cam seals and replace those if they don't look too good.

cam seals ok...

its a 2WD btw.

Then you don't need to worry about using any 75W90 oil (transfer case, rear differential) because you don't have it on a 2WD/FWD.

yes

debatable, some people prefer to change it at 90, but it's not in the manufacturer's recommended schedule. If (IF!) it goes, it is likely to go when you hit 140-150K.

Why would you change that?

Spark plugs are recommended to be replaced at 120k or 96 months.

You need 9.5 quarts to replace the fluid (pre-mixed = diluted). Since it's sold by toyota by gallons, (both pre-mixed and not), you will need to buy either 2 gal unmixed or 3 gal pre-mixed, either way it's about the same $$ so I bought pre-mixed.

unless it's leaking, why?


yes.
