Okay, so I got the light overlays on, and one more upgrade… NEW black wheels. This is just a teaser, more photos to follow.

Ok, so it is about that time (well, a little past that time - 37,491 miles to be exact), for the 30k Scheduled Maintenance. Check out the Toyota details.

First I did an oil change with 4.8qts of some sweet Mobile1 synthetic 5w30, and a genuine Toyota oil filter.

Next, I drained the transmission fluid. There is a lot of talk about which fluid works best in the XRS 6-speed trany, but I wanted to give the Red Line ShockProof Gear Oil a shot (I will let you know what I think about it). Added 2.4qts of the ShockProof. Here is a GREAT write up about how to change the tranny fluid.

Third, I replaced the spark plugs with some NGK Iridium IX ones.

I have a new cabin air filter on order.

The last thing was to replace the air filter. SO… why not just replace the entire filter system with a new Cold Air Intake.

Here are some photos of the CAI:

Lastly, I rotated the tires and put it back down on the ground.

Okay so shot a couple of photo of the trix. Mostly because I ordered some new overlays for the lights and wanted some ‘before’ photos. I ordered some yellow fog lights and red tail lights from this site: Import Equipment. AWESOME service, he has made a good name for himself over at the Matrix Owners Forum. Anyway, here they are:

I will post some more pics after the overlays are installed.
