2001 3.0 V6 Toyota Solara - What fluids?

[poisonspider]

I bought it used it didn't come with a manual, I was just curious what type of fluids it takes

brake fluid
power steering
transmission
coolant
and engine oil



perhaps there is a online manual of some sort?

Brake Fluid- anything with DOT 3

Power Steering- ATF * Automatic Transmission Fluid*

Transmission- Auto- something that satisfies Dexron III
Manual- SAE 75W-90

Coolant- Toyota Red Coolant or Prestone Orange

Engine Oil- 10W-30

Nice recommendations.

Don't forget the DOT approved horn fluid. J/K

My wife actually fell for this.

[poisonspider]

i am pretty sure it says 5 30 on the oil cap


is 10 30 a bette oil for all situations, summer...winter?


I thought in the summer you should use one oil and winter another

edit: and quaker or formula 1?

also coolant my canadian tire has something that says you can mix with any color and for any make or model


and just to double check i can put my dexron 3 transmission fluid in my power steering and my vice versa.

sorry for my rookie-ness

It does say 5W-30 but when a car gets older you should put a little bit thicker oil in it

Oh, don't forget it also takes SAE DM-9A Blinker Fluid (IMPORTANT: DM-9a is completely different and it'll upset the blinking equilization module!).

Just kidding, bro; no such thing... I say this because one of my friends used to say this to old ladies in the next lane while stopped at an intersection and see their reactions
