Tonight I pulled the rad from the Prado to send off to the local rad shop to get a slight leak in the top fixed up. I drained the coolant out of the rad, so I'd imagine there some left in the block. Does the Prado have any other draincocks I should know about. How about at the front, or rear heater ?
Also, I bought a 90915-41010 filter that the parts guy gave me because it fit the 2LT and 2L motors found in Toyota Pickups stateside. It worries me that the rubber ring on the filter appears to have a smaller diameter than the 90915-30002 filter that I pulled off the truck. I'm going to have the dealership re-check the part number, or order me the part that was on the truck originally, unless someone can tell me another Toyota filter fits with no issues. I know Toyota has two lines of oil-filters, a change-up line they call MVP, for most valued products or something. These filters are basically the same as what's fitted at the factory, but cheaper from the dealership. (ex: 90915-YZZA2 [MVP filter] is a change up part for the 90915-XXXXX filter fitted at the factory on say... a 94 Corolla.) Also, for anyone's future reference, the drain plug gasket is the standard, small size.
Going to see the local availability on the Air Filter 17801-54120, if its not in stock, or in the catologue, I'm first going to see if there's a North American part that is close enough to work, then have the dealer order one from Japan. Also will have them first check for this stuff at Ens.
