Well, the only alternative I have is to unload a couple of hundred bucks for the printed manual, but then again, you might be the altruist that would put all this somewhere on-line for download. Would you? If so, I can provide the webspace you can upload to. And of course, I'll buy you a couple of drinks if you are in North California.

Guys, what do you think about this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2423079845

Thanks m3pc. You made some good points, especially regarding the plug wires. I hope we'll get some more advice from fine people of this forum.

Cheers! According to 98 ES300 owner's manual, the following items need to be done at 60K miles: -Replace oil and filter -Replace air filter -Replace spark plugs -Replace coolant -Replace brake fluid Dealer is asking for more than $1200 for this, and they are not going to get it from me. I don't want to invest in a shop manual just for this service, so I am hoping that someone can help me with the following: -Which spark plugs should I replace the existing ones with? -What are the torque specs for the spark plugs? -Are there any special instructions as far as removing and replacing spark plugs? (I am used to old and simple GM V8s) -Is it enough so simply let the radiator drain for the coolant replacement? -How do I replace brake fluid? -Transmission fluid is not mentioned. Is it necessary to change that too? -Any other tips? Help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
