Fluids, capacities & service intervals

Assume nothing was done unless there are receipts: on a 100 the big-ticket items are the 90,000-mile timing belt, the drivetrain gear oils that owners skip, and (on LX 470s and any AHC-equipped Land Cruiser) the AHC fluid. Note which transmission you have: 1998–2002 trucks use the A343F four-speed, 2003–07 the A750F five-speed, and Slee says the 2004 update moved to ATF WS and Super Long Life Coolant.
