oil

With the valve on the oil pan draining the oil is a piece of cake Changing the filter requires removal of the front skid plate with the ARB System So a thought, get bjowetts cab with the valve and Drill an access hole into the skid plate. Maybe a round hole with a 4" hole saw?? Either the...

Hi all, I'm finishing up rebuilding one engine and going to be doing 2 more. The first is my 1950 Dodge B2 pick up, next is my 1973 FJ40 and then a my 1969 FJ40. So here is my deal, after rebuild, that FIRST turn over is a big wear down on everything, there is no oil in lot's of the engine. I...

Can i use one of the 1/8 BSP ports as an alternative oil feed for my alternator vacuum pump? I have purchased a downward facing oil filter housing but it does not have the oil feed and retun as my 3B currently has. then a bung on the side of the sump for the return?

I was hoping someone could help me out here with a diagnosis and hopefully, an easy fix. I noticed that the corrugated, bent portion of the air intake hose that is AFTER the air filter (probably a foot or so below the air filter along the air intake hose), but BEFORE the turbo, is wet with...

FYI: Land Cruiser Owner N00b, relative to most everyone else here, but have wanted an 80 since I was a kid, and have lurked on these forums for years before finally creating an account recently. I know there are a zillion oil threads, many of which are very old. I feel like I have looked at all...

Yeah....I know, If its running and not knocking...its probably OK. But I just can't stand the factory gauge. After warm up, basically indicates ZERO (or right at it) at idle (650 rpm). It DOES rise immediately with engine rpm, but I'd just like to be able to see numbers instead of an indicator...

So i ordered a 2.4LTE received it and it was out of a hiace van. long story short the oil pan will interfere with my front axle. im needing one that will fit with its own built in dipstick. let me know what ya got 801-564-9029 Ryan

I was thinking...mmm bad oil pressure light switch? I was heading off the highway to see my my old house when the light on 3sfe engine was flickering. I turned around drove 1/4 mile stopped at a gas station and perched a quart of oil. The engine does not leak or burn oil. So checked the stick it...

I'm a bit concerned, but we'll see what it looks like next time as well.

Can't find any procedures to change the oil in a series 1 TRD supercharger for the 4.7 uz. Any help would be appreciated or recommendations on a good Tundra forum that might have the info I need. Thank you

If you're using a WIX oil filter read this This was posted in the 80 Series tech section, but since a lot of us use the Wix filters I thought it would be good for everyone to see this.

what port are you using to supply your turbo?

Like the title says, when the motor's running and the oil filler cap is removed, there is a noticeable/audible drop in rpms. Put the cap back on... doesn't need to be screwed in... and the rpms go back up. There's no noticeable change in overall performance during driving, and no smoke/exhaust...

Hi Everybody, I don't post much but look at all posts for anything that I feel may help me. The wagon has done 438000 k's, has been converted to duel fuel (LPG and Petrol) and does not burn any oil between oil changes at 15000 to 20000 k's. I use Nulon fully syn 10-40 free flowing oil. On start...

Spent some time under my relatively new to me 80 today. Noticed a chip here and resulting fluid all around. Any suggestions on what to do with it? Chip is in bottom right of first pic and just left of dead center in the last pic.

I inadvertently came across this video of a 300,000 mile Ford engine oil analysis. It's a good video explaining what a Blackstone report can show. The engine was maintained and is performing well apparently, but the results are very informative. FWIW. Scot

Not sure if this has been discussed, but due to the fact that the stock housing lends itself to getting stuck on the filter wrench or rounding off the filter housing I recommend getting one of these instead: Toyota Lexus Scion Special Oil Filter Wrench Tool LARGE SIZE | eBay I have one from...

my 12ht leaks oil around the oil pump and somewhere behind the turbo, (i don't think it is the turbo). not sure if the rear main bearing seal is leaking. when my engine got rebuilt about 30K ago i placed a sleeve over the crankshaft where the rear main seal ride because of a groove there created...

Hello Mudders, I've trolled the site for a lot of info but this is my first post. 1974 FJ40 w/ F155 motor I noticed milky oil building up in my oil fill cap, and in the PCV valve but not on my dipstick. I got the vehicle to operating temperature and did a dry compression test, followed by a...

I started noticing my oil pressure gauge complete dead about four months ago, took it to a trusted Toyota master technician, he replaced the solenoid sender, worked for a day went bad again, took it back, he completely cleaned out the instrument panel and cleaned the circuit board from minor...
