Power Steering - I suck about 6oz out of the res at each oil change. Use the same Dexron fluid as the tranny

Brake Fluid - Have a full, new, unopened quart on hand when you start bleeding

Front Dif -
Rear Dif -
Transfer Case - Both diffs and T-Case I use the same Mobil 1 75W-90 Buy a case and you'll use about 8 quarts and have some spare

Coolant - 2 gallons of coolant

Transmission (just a quick drain and fill) - this varies, I get 4 quarts. Some get a little more, some a little less.

Thanks.

Obviously you don't care about your truck. If you did you would use Evian.

I read up on water wetter on Bobistheoilguy.com and decided it probably wasn't for me. There are several dozen threads that mention it. Here is one.

LX_TREME you flush twice a year so I guess you have never seen any foreign stuff?

Tim, Thanks for the links.It surprised me but so far 8 yrs until now i had no cooling prob as they described from the links above. I drained all the coolants from the drain cock and (DS) Driver Side engine block and everytime i looked at it pretty much clean.But its good thing to know.Also makes sense in the street applications, No points is reducing temps in heavy stop and go driving I see absolutely no point to using this product.Shiettzz now i gotta drain 'em again and buy 2 Gallons drinking water with Toyota Red
