    Excellent content! I usually add the injector cleaner a tank of fuel prior to changing the sparkplugs. Back in the day before they added detergents to fuel, the injector cleaner use to leave deposits on the sparkplugs and cause the engine to operate poorly I hope the cleaner has gotten better, but this my procedure from past experiences. Awesome video on servicing a preowned vehicle.

    Good starting point! Don’t forget to flush your other fluids, especially your engine coolant. Replace the radiator cap since the plastic end tends to break off and finds its way into your radiator. I’ve seen this in our shop and it causes havoc for vehicle owners (engine overheating, blocked radiator,)

      Hi Chloe. I have a 22 TRD sport that I really like except for a few things. I have a k&n filter and a air accelerator that I just had put in. It has really helped clean up the lag and it helps with the mpg. I get over 30 mpg. I really like alot of the upgrades on the 24 model but if I can't get a good deal, I have no problem walking. I figured that if it's good enough for alkida and the taliban, it's good enough for me. I like your you tube, you go girl, you are the woman. ​@@ChloeKuo

This video was the only 1 I could find that tells you what dash cam to use for that. It’s not the best dash cam, but it still works.
