Servicing parts for Prado 90, 3.4 Petrol

Post by Jaco Versfeld »

Good day,

I would like to service my Prado 90, 3.4l petrol. Does anyone know what needs to be replaced, when, and what the part numbers are?

Every 10k km:
Oil
Oil filter
Air filter


Every 40k km:
Diffs
Transfer
Gearbox

Every 80k km
Cam belt

Cam belt - interval is 150 000km (it is a free spinning motor so even if it did snap, cannot cause damage).
I do every 10k oil, oil filter, fuel filter and air filter and I clean the MAF sensor.

Thanks,

How do you clean the MAF sensor?

What about spark plugs?

Apparently, the last time my Prado went in for a service (at an Indie), the spark plugs was replaced with plugs that do 80k km? Can this be true?

Thanks,
J

Oops, when I asked Midas for an air filter, they showed a rectangular thingy, not a round cylindrical one. (I suspect it must be for a Camry)

What is the price of an Air filter, and what is a decent make (FRAM, GUD). Toyota charges R1100 for a filter ...

Platinum coated spark plugs can last that long. I have them in.
Air filter, normal GUD. Look at part number of filter that is in. The book that they use at Autozone and these places list the wrong part number.
Clean MAF sensor with small, fine paint brush - carefully.

Jaco,

I will have a look in the service book what gets done on the services.

The coolant is due every 40000km on these engines AFAIK, with the filters.

Spark plugs is only due at 60/90000 km interval as they are a special long lasting twin ground plug

Cambelt due at 150000km's, when doing the cambelt on 300000Km's replace the tensioner, waterpump, thermostat and the rollers also as you don't want to have to redo all that work for a noisy roller or leaky waterpump.

Oils are to be replaced every 40000km in the diffs front and rear with transfer case.
Auto box fluid can be replaced (flush torque convertor) every 100000 km or more frequent if towing heavy loads.
I would replace it also every 40000km's if the box is being worked hard and high temperatures.

Replace the radiator if the top tank start to turn brown colour as it is showing signs of ageing and loosing the radiator will cost you easy 25K to redo both heads and replace the radiator.

What mileage is your Prado on Jaco??

Hi Jaco
Ek stem saam met wat hierbo gese is.
Toe ek myne gekry het het ek die petrol filter ook vervang.

As jy die diwwe gaan doen,wees versigtig vir die voor dif.Hy het so 'n simpel allen key tiepe filler plug.
Dit strip maklik.My onderste een is getrip en sit geweldig styf vas.Myne kon ek op die staium nog nie los kry nie.
Ek het sommer die olie bo "uitgesuig" en sal nog plan maak met die onderste een.

Ek het ook my auto boks se olie afgetap(flush).Was ook 'n hele proses.As jy 'n auto het kan ek my stappe hier noem.

Het ek al erens genoem dis nog die lekkerste voertuig wat ek besit het :laugh2:

Sjoe, baie dankie vir al die raad.

Sal graag wil weet hoe flush ek die auto box?

Johan, die Prado staan nou op 390 000 km, het hom op 340 000 gekoop, so drie jaar terug. Grootste fout van my lewe, vir Vroulief gese^ dit is haar kar... Nou mag ons maar net rustige paaie doen, geen 4x4 roetes soos Berakha nie ... Maar die Kgalagadi was woes lekker, veral na die reen, toe die platkarre nie meer orals kon ry nie ...

Hi Jaco
Ek het begin lees en daar is 'n hele paar maniere om dit te doen.
Die een wat ek gevolg het is seker nie die beste nie,maar ek het so 80% nuwe olie in die boks gekry.
Eintlik moet mens die sump afhaal en die olie filter vervang,maar my plek is baie beperk waar ek kan werk so dit is iets vir die toekoms.
Die eerste ding wat ek moes leer is om die olie se vlak te meet.Hierdie is my eerste automatiese kar so ek het net altyd die dipstick uitgetrek en die olie vlak gelees as die kar afgeskakel en koud was.Dit is egter nie korrek nie.Moet se hulle beskryf nie eers die prossedure in die handboek nie.
Jy moet die kart start en terwyl hy idle moet jy deur die ratte gaan.P,R,N,D,2,L en dan weer terug tot in P.Dan moet jy die dipstick check en hy moet op die "cold" level wees.

Ek het 2 bottels DEX2 ATF gekoop(10lt).Dis beter om DEX3 te gebruik,maar ek kon nie hier op die weskus kry nie.
Sit die kar af en tap die olie af.Daar kom so 2.5 na 3lt uit.Beste is om in roomys bak of so iets te tap sodat jy dieselfde hoeveelheid kan terug gooi.
Ek het 'n tregter gebruik wat mooi in die dipstick se pyp pas.Gooi dan via die dipstick pyp dieselfde hoeveelheid olie wat jy afgetap het terug.Gaan ryn dan so 10-15km sodat die nuwe olie meng.
Ek het die proses 3 keer gevolg en het dus so 9.5 lt se olie vervang.As ek reg onthou het die boks 11lt in.

Soos ek gese het dis nie die beste manier om te doen nie,maar vir my het dit gewerk.
Sal graag wil hoor hoe doen die ander manne dit.

Gee, ok. Thought that if it is in the region of R400, to replace it, but at that price I would rather just clean it.

Thanks

Jaco,

ek het so bietjie gaan kyk wat maak die manne in Australie en USA om die ratkaste te flush.

Maklikste manier is om n 12V oil supply (suction feed) pomp te koop en dan is dit eenvoudig n geval van die supply lyn afhaal op die oil cooler se pyp en dan die ratkas in N te sit en die enjin te start, dan begin jy vanuit jou 20L ATF dexron II of III olie te begin pomp in die supply lyn in tot die olie by die oil cooler uitkom skoon is. Dan skakel jy die enjin en die pomp af en connect die pype en dan skakel jy hom deur die PRND2L en terug weer met die enjin wat idle. Check die level en maak seker hy is reg. Indien top jy hom dan op met n 500ml bottel en n dun pyp.

Road test hom vir so 15/20 km en kyk dat hy glad skakel en nie gly nie en lock up soos hy moet. Laat hom afkoel en dan check jy weer die level en dan is hy geflush.

Myne skakel nou so glad oor ek moet soms kyk op die revcounter om hom te sien shift anders weet ek nie daarvan nie. :thumbup:

Baie dankie vir al die tips.

Johan, ek het die kar sonder n boekie gekry, het jy nie dalk n "scan" van wat gedoen moet word by elke diens nie?
