Hi Scotty, I have 2007 Toyota Camry V6 XLE. 192,300 on the car and change oil every 3500 miles. Other then that and the common tire, brake and standard checks, what do you recommend i do to keep the car going? Also, whats your thought on fuel grade for a V6?

your thought on fuel grade for a V6?
It's in the owners manual.
Regular gasoline 87 octane.
Transmission flush
Not good idea fushing engine and transmission

I won't deal with the dealership I bought the car from anymore
Smart decision.
Check our FAQ for more info.
How long have you had the car? Has the transmission been serviced? Do you have any records of what was done to it?
The transmission is a big one, also it is good to change the coolant, spark plugs, and even the power steering fluid. Cleaning of MAF and throttle body.
If the transmission has not been services at least once, it may not been wise to change it at that mileage, check the FAQs for more info.
I bought the car used with 46,000 on it. I've had all spark plugs, flushes done including steering fluid. Dealt with VSC issues prior to the 100,000 mile mark. Transmission flush I'm not sure as I won't deal with the dealership I bought the car from anymore. Dealing with Mavis currently and the last issue was the catalytic converter, which I used Cataclean on and light cleared.
