I have a japanese imported Starlet Limited Edition with EP91 4E-FE Engine.100BHP, NON TURBO. I also have a full service manual for any starlet since 1989.

I don't know what type of engine in your Glanza V.

1. Reccomended spark plugs for 4E-FE K16R-U11 or BKR5EyA11 for 4E-FTE PK20R-11 or BKR6EP11 or go for any Iridium 1.1 Sparks.

2.Oil filter easily changed without getting under the car, even without any tools if you're strong enough, buy a new filter (better if original toyota) first and then locate your old one.

3 If it's a 4E-FE or 4E-FTE you will need 2.8 L of oil.

I would recommend Fully Synthetic oil, however some car mechanics DO NOT recommend it, so it's etrirely up to you. Castrol Magnetic 10W-40 is pretty much very good. Personally I am using TESCO FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL, 5w-40, doesn't cost a lot, which means I can easily change it every 3000-5000 miles or every 6 months [as recommended by the manufacturer].

Don't forget about the thermostat, radiator cap, air filter, fuel filter, fluids change, aux/cam belt change.
