Starting to check and replace a few things on the 78 FJ40 that my wife and I just picked up here in Atlanta.
Noticed there was not a belt for the air pump, so I went out and picked one up, as well as a few other simple maintenance items.
My first couple of questions here....What is the air pump used for? Once it is in operation, what will my FJ do differently? Is it the same thing as an air compressor? (I dont have A/C in this thing)
And, gonna do the fluids this weekend and planning on full syn for the engine oil. Any opinions on using synthetic oil instead of conventional oil in a 27 year old, 130k mile tight engine?
Once my service manual gets here, I will have it as my bedside read.
Thanks
