oil

So I’ve noticed recently that my 2004 Lx470 (250,000 miles) has a ticking noise that is sometimes very noticeable fat operating temperature in the cabin slightly on the passenger side. But I don’t really hear it outside of the car with all the other noises of the engine. I have don’t really have...

Hello Everyone, I am a newbie in this forum, I've been reading a few threads here and there but I finally decided to register after acquiring my new car. Model: LX570 2014 GCC spec (5.7L gasoline engine) - (200,000KM/124,000 Miles on the odo) I live in the UAE (Very hot country) 25c+...

Our 2006 LX just yesterday stopped registering oil pressure at the cluster. The oil level on the dip is fine, the engine runs and sounds completely fine. I removed the connector wire from the oil pressure switch near the filter and it did not affect needle position. I searched last night for a...

Fj62, I check oil level and appears to be on the high side. However the gauge at idle seems a little low from what I’m used to since I did and oil change a week ago. Curious where it should sit. It just crosses over the midway line at 75-80mph and 2.8k-3k rpm.

Hi Guys I need a 3b oil filter housing that hangs down. The one on my 3b is up and will get in the way of the turbo. If you have one I would realy use it. I have checked with the rock mountain guys and nobody has one. Thanks

My mechanic was doing some repairs on my 1995 TLC and he noticed some dirty oil in the bottom of the side coolant reservoir. (I think that this is the part circled in red in the attached photo). He wasn't sure how this occured, or if it means that this is a sign of a bigger problem with the...

Alright... don't flame me too bad for these questions. I found lots of info on engine oil via search engines and this forum, yet I could not find an answer to my specific questions. I'm trying to decide on a synthetic engine oil and viscosity for my 1HD-FT. I am a huge fan of Mobil 1...

I have an FJ40 series oil cooler and oil filter bracket assembly for sale. It is a little dirty but was working well when I removed it from my 1982 FJ40 last month. Asking $200.00 shipped within the USA (actual shipping cost elsewhere).

I saw this post in Facebook LX570/LC200 North America group talking about what "710" fluid to use with higher mileage engines. Most respondents agreed with using 5W-30 or 5W-40. This is something I have never thought of so it caught me by surprise especially with my '14 LX 570 at 183K miles. If...

Finally learned to changed the oil from my cruiser. It's not much but it's a first step on learning to maintain your own car. Unfortunately the oil filter was I got was too small so I'll have to go and buy the right one. Besides transmission fluid and fuel filter, was else should I drain?

Hi all is it possible to remove the engine oil sump of the 1kzte while in the KZJ78, I was going to inspect and clean the oil pickup?

Drove the 80 for the first time longer than 10 minutes after recently doing quite a bit of PM. Was checking for oil and coolant leaks. Noted this fluid on the ground. Touched it and it was cool and clear with no smell (likely water). I did not have the AC on during the trip but wondering if...

I’ve just taken my exhaust headers off my 1hz and it’s got what looks like oil but on the block. Wondering what anyone thinks it could be thanks .

Just went to check oil level and found no markings on the dipstick. It does have the following stamp: 1811229C2. It measures 52 cm from tip to the bottom of the yellow bonnet. Is it partly broken off?

Another Interesting Car Care Nut video, in this case on the US build Tundra 3UR-FE and issue with timing chain tensioner. Wondering whether 0W20 pushed by the EPA is resulting in less oil pressure and possible issue with these tensioners not exerting enough force. Seems the rotor type oil pump...

I've not got my car currently so I can't check myself.

Here are some pics of the engine compartment. Apologies for the mis-ID of the type. As a new one to these I thought that because it's 3 liter it is a 3B. It is a B motor. The previous owner did put A/C on it as you can see. No heater. Went to local Toyota dealer parts guy who said that the...

I'll start by say I just finished rebuild my engine, all new gasket, rings and clutch. So I disconnected the fuel pump relay so I could crank her over a few times to build oil pressure, the problem is the gauge doesn't jump up and upon removing oil pressure sender, no oil was coming out. It...

1979 Canadian 24volt BJ40 with 3B engine. No oil pressure on the gauge. Grounding the wire leading to the sender causes the gauge to max out. Removed the old sender and installed new 24volt sender. Still no reading on the gauge. By the way the old sender was marked 12 volt.

Good afternoon everyone! My 1967 FJ 40 has its original oil bath air cleaner but I just discovered I’m missing the steel mesh insert. Any idea where I could score one?
