Greetings Soarer owners, I have recently joined the Soarer crowd and purchased a JZZ30 TT completely stock Soarer, I would just like some confirmation from experienced Soarer owners on the products I will be using in my first service since I bought the car.

Here is a list of what I will be using:

Engine oil flush - Nulon oil flush

Engine Oil - Penrite HPR 10 Full synthetic 10W-50 (5L bottle)

Differential oil - Penrite Gear Oil Premium mineral 80W-90

Transmission oil - Penrite DX-III

Oil filter - Ryco Z418ST

Power steering fluid - Castrol

Spark plugs - 6x Champion RC8PYP

Fuel filter - Ryco Z383

Air filter - Part no. AF540SL (It's not OE Approved would this matter?)

Thanks in advance let me know if I missed anything or if my post needs editing!

I’ve had around a dozen soarers some of which i did over 400k without having to open the engine or auto trans.
Here’s my opinion:

Engine oil i used to run HPR 10 but found the 5W40 to be much better.

Trans oil ONLY use toyota TIV (type4). Anything and you’ll be changing your trans.

Spark plugs i only ever use BKR7E in all my JZ motors. Tried everything else but found these performed the best and last for ages.
DexIII for power steering.

Thanks Ross The oil I have for my transmission says it's suitable for GM Dexron III, And the lady I purchased the champion plugs from said they were platinum plated and are the same quality as an NGK plug. as for my engine oil I was recommended 10W-50 as I am running twin turbos.

I’ve had twin turbo soarers since 2002 so i’m Pretty familiar with them.

I tried GM Dextron III it’s a good way to kill your trans. Ended up dumping it after a couple of days and spent the money on proper toyota fluid. These transmissions are very sensitive. You might save a bit of money using cheap oil but it will cost you more in the long run when it starts slipping and eventually fails.

As mentioned, i used to run 10w50 and it’s not as good as the 5w40 as it takes longer to build pressure.

I tried platinum plugs as well as others but you’ll find the copper plugs work better. I had smoother idle with platinum but noticeable loss of power.

So I've still got the power steering to flush how should I go about it? is there a drain plug somewhere?
