Ok we are at 106k on this ride. I feel as if a tune up is n order even though it seems to be running fine. What should I order and replace on this car. I know the plugs are expensive and I am unsure on what to do with the wires. Every other camry I have owned you dont change the fuel filter. PLease give me some guidence.

 

This is what I did for my 99 recently.
Air Filter
Spark Plugs
Spark Plug Wires
Fuel Filter
Clean Fuel System
Clean Injectors
Coolant Flush
Brake Fluid Flush
Tranny Flush
PCV Valve Replacement
Oil and Filter Change
Tire Rotation/ PSi Check
Check brake pads

The ones in BOLD are a MUST

 

The above is the same what i did to my 1996 Camry in addition to Timing belt,Water pump, Radiator, All Rubber Hose's.

 

no timing belt on 2003,

and fuel filter is in the gas tank, too expensive to replace as a maintenance item.

 

It seems that indeed they don't think it's something that needs replacement for the normal life of the vehicle. It seems the filter is nothing more than a metal screen of some sorts. I thought it was paper. I would like to know if anyone has seen the contents of a used filter and what they found.

 

I got TWO 02 camry's, one with 50K and one with 100K, the 100K needs some major redu this summer as well...

whats funny is when i bought my 100K camry at 80K, the cabin air filter was never changed, you wouldn't believe the crap that was in there...

well, thanks for the tips, i'll be doing those this summer for sure...it's well due for some new tires so i'll do a alignment as well...

 

Speaking of cabin filter, it seems like a great feature. I'm surprised more vehicles don't have it so you don't have to keep rolling down the window when funes enter. I'm upset that Toyota didn't feel the need to include it in it's 2 door relative, the Solara. I don't know if the new gen Solara's have it but the gen 1 and 1.5 do not.

 

Cabin filter, where's it located?

 

It's behind the glove box.

 

please replace them...lol, i have a feeling most people don't even know they exist! [8D]
