Good evening all. 

My name is Mark and last week I purchased my first Alphard, 2012 350G Needless to say I'm very happy. 

It's my first Toyota let alone my first import.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following. 

The service intervals. 

The correct oil grade For engine and gearbox.

And the most reliable places for spare parts. 

Many thanks in advance and I look forward to interacting with like minded people.

Hello Mark,

 

Welcome to the Forum

I forwarded links via email

Chris.ac.

Thank you so much, that's is extremely helpful and kind of you.

It literally has everything I need and more.

Very much appreciated.

No problem.

As for parts, if you use a site like amayama, you can type your chassis number in, and get Toyota part numbers.

You can either then order from the site, or use those part numbers in most car part centres, for the main servicable parts.

For example, today i walked into my local parts site and bought front and rear brake pads, air, cabin and oil filters, off the shelf.

You can give the numbers to a Toyota parts centre, too, and they will order them in for you.
