Default Time for a tune up

Hello all, I just picked up a 2006 Toyota Camry LE with 139,000 miles in great shape. I'd like to give it a fresh tune-up to have a clean start. The plan is new plugs, new air filter, oil flush, fresh oil and filter, fuel treatment, and a new radiator cap. I'm sure there will be many questions to come, but for now, I wanna know what the go-to plugs are. My shop manual is showing NGK IFR6A11 but I'm not seeing that on RockAuto. Thanks in advance.

Also shop manual says 0w20 while oil cap says 5w20. Which is correct?

IFR6A11 appears replaced by Denso SK20R11 which is a Denso 3297 which is a number Rockauto lists.

Would assume the cap is correct. Go to the Toyota site below and download the owners manual for your car.

Thanks, that's what my findings are as well.
That link says no manual for my vehicle.

Thanks.

How about using anti-seize on the plugs?

I'd like to change out the tranny fluid a couple of times, do you guys recommend the Type T-IV or Valvoline Max life Multi-vehicle?

Check if the plugs have a manufacturers applied coating to prevent seizing. Note that after market applied anti-seize compounds will result in a higher installed torque as act as a lube.

Some people use max life without issue. Suggest sticking with the recommended fluid as the trans is designed for such. Different fluids cause different trans operation characteristics which can range from minor to major.

Investigating the brake squeal found the front rotors are glazed. Replacement pads and rotors are here and will be replaced this weekend. While I'm there I'll be flushing the brake fluid. What is the correct bleeding sequence? Thanks.

Start with the longest brake line and work to the shortest.
