Preparing for winter — logbook Toyota Vitz 2005

Today began preparing Vitka for winter! To the last changed only the oil! No one looked into the car for a year!

The first thing that was done — changing the engine oil + flushing + oil. filter + air filter. Filled with NGN 5W-30 oil (Holland), also used SMT2 oil additive.
Secondly, the running gear was diagnosed, all fluids were checked and antifreeze was measured for freezing. Diagnostics revealed two unpleasant moments:
1. The main oil seal is leaking; (work is estimated at 3,000 rubles)
2. The rear left bearing of the hub died, but it seems to be complete with the hub; (maybe someone knows where to get it?)
3. Recommend to clean the fuel system (refused, decided to try High Gear chemistry). The process of phased cleaning of the fuel system launched today, the result will unsubscribe after all the steps are completed.
Everything else is normal. Antifreeze seems to be holding up to -40 C.
Tomorrow, the next step is to insulate the engine compartment. I have already found the technology, I will provide a report after I do it.
Also change the oil in the variator. Yesterday, half a night, the Internet was digging about the replacement of the varicose slurry and now I know how it's done. Would have done today, but did not have time to buy slurry for the varicose.
Everything else is normal.

The process continues.

P.S. I can’t upload a photo (((!
