Replying to: avalong06 (Apr 15, 2006 2:57 pm) I believe you will find the Avalon takes just over 6 quarts of oil...not 5. You might want to check your oil level.
#188 of 290 '00 Avalon 60,000 service by russmc May 03, 2006 (4:55 pm)
What is really necessary, and what is not? What is a fair cost in SoCal? Our car looks and runs like new, and has served us flawlessly for over five years. It has been cared for per the Toyota book without questions, but this one has us wondering. Replies to this message: fin (May 04, 2006 6:41 pm) abfisch (May 11, 2006 10:50 am)

Replying to: russmc (May 03, 2006 4:55 pm) If you have changed the coolant recently, and the brake fluid and the transmission fluid (flush completely, not just change filter and a little fluid) you should be in good shape. Read the manual. Your car should go 200k miles if you take care of it. Being in GA, I can't help with SoCal prices but there's not a lot to do if you keep up with the book anyway. Might drain and refill the power steering fluid at this time also.

Replying to: russmc (May 03, 2006 4:55 pm) at that low mileage, all I would have changed is the oil/filter, and tranny fluid and filter. Yes. No timing belt till around 100K. Water pump and V belts at that time as well.   abfisch
#191 of 290 int. air filter replacement by kersten May 23, 2006 (4:59 pm)
Hello,   Hello!,      I just bought a 2000 XLS and I do love it!Always taken care of at dealer and original owner with 90,000.... I am not a mechanic but I can change the oil and air filter. I am having trouble replacing the interior air filter. I took out the glove box and then I am stuck. The dealer said the cut out area should be right in front of the filter...Mine seems to be off to the left an inch or two...there is not much space to pull it out or up??..Can anyone tell me how to get out the filter to replace it with a new one?? No it has not been wrecked....THanks,JB Replies to this message: kersten (May 27, 2006 6:01 am) lwilliard (Oct 14, 2006 2:38 pm)

#193 of 290 Insructions - '06 Avalon Oil/Filter Change - pdf file ? by mikemurrell Jun 13, 2006 (9:23 am)
I've read that the instructions to change oil/filter cartridge on an '06 Avalon come with the dealer-supplied filter. That said, I came across a post on the Tundrasolutions forum indicating someone had pulled a pdf how-to on this subject at an Edmunds site.   Would anyone know if such a pdf is available here and how to find it?   Thanks for your time.   Mike Murrell Replies to this message: mem4 (Jun 13, 2006 11:15 am) badgerfan (Jun 13, 2006 12:42 pm) fin (Jun 13, 2006 6:07 pm) mikemurrell (Jun 13, 2006 1:54 pm)
