should be just in to the center from the bottom radiator hose but if the radiator has been replaced it might not have one. Then its a simple matter of loosening the hose clamp and taking the hose off. Catch all the old coolant and dispose of carefully. Its very toxic to cats and dogs but the smell attracts them.Had a close call with one of our cats.
Oil and oil filter Air filter fuel filter. Check your trans fluid for level and colour. New its pale pink but in use it will go darkish red or straw coloured. This is ok but brown is not. Black is worse. I trust you wernt lucky enough to find a manual one.
Go over the ball joints and driveshaft ujoints with a grease gun. You could change diff oils but probably not needed.
Bit of oil on the door hinges
Wash and polish

Small clarification please. Profile says 99 wizard thread says 96. Which is correct and which engine do you have?
We have thought 96 with 4jg2 engine. In this case the filter is attached to the left hand inner guard about half way back. Its the same size as the oil filter and hard to miss
