My son lost the book to his car, and we'd like to keep up with these items.

Does anyone know the factory schedule on them?

The car's got 60k miles now (bot used),

TIA

Get a book, If you havnt changed it go ahead, Drop the trans pan and do
the filter. Flush the cooling and use distilled water, Do the
differential, also, But get a book you are missing alot.

Good advice.....been meaning to do this myself (in the past, I've had
the dealer do the complete transmission and coolant service, but no
reason I can't do it myself).

Was wondering, however, if I change the transmission fluid --- do I need
a replacement crush washer for its drain plug (like the one on the oil
pan drain) ? Any idea what size it might be (if one is needed) ?

Cars are 95 and 99 Camry LEs, both 4 cyl auto.

Mine is a 91 changed 10 times, same gasket, but for a first time drop
the pan and use a new filter

I went to this site, registered and looking through the do it yourself
stuff and there is a photo of a Toyota oil filter and a qt of Toyota
10W-40 oil. It's my understanding 10W-40 is not approved, there is no
certified seal on the oil. Right under the photo it says,"A guide to
assist you in the proper replacement of genuine Toyota parts". Seems to
me they could have found a better example.
