oil

I gotta admit even I got a belly laugh out of the initial juvenile trolling response from the forum brain trust; albeit from an entirely different alphabetic perspective...touché! I just love it! The question is...I've been using the WIX 51773 oil filter since the demise of the OEM 15600-41010...

Picked up a M1-209 that's been recommended here in this site. On my way back home I stopped by Walmart and saw these filters on the shelves. Mobil 1™ Extended Performance Oil Filters | Mobil™ Motor Oils Anyone use the M1-209A filter yet?

.....Do your hoses? I don't like the clamp setup. I'd prefer something more secure. Crimped. Is there a better way to secure the oil hoses? How would you boys do it?

Just posted this in the 60 section, but this is probably the more appropriate forum section: Did an oil change and overfilled the F mark by about 4mm, oil level comes up to the start of the F. Haven't run the engine yet and poured some oil in the filter before installing. Overly cautious...

Did an oil change and overfilled the F mark by about 4mm, oil level comes up to the start of the F. Haven't run the engine yet and poured some oil in the filter before installing. Overly cautious, probably unnecessary question: should I bother draining some oil or just run as is? No idea how...

I've just noticed a small puddle of oil under my 2002 LX470. Looks like the leak is at the Drain Plug on the Transfer Case. I assume this is the Transfer Case? See photo. In the photo have I identified the fill plug? What oil do I need? I assume I just open the fill plug and pump in some more...

Just doing the timing chain on my 1989 22r engine. My book says to lift the engine about 1 inch and pull it out. I tried that - no go- lifted it over 2 inches and still no where close. It doesn't even seem like I will be able to lift it high enough to get it out. Does it have to twist out...

Searching the forum I can't find any posts describing this condition. '96 FZJ80, 1FZ-FE, 210,000 miles. This is a recent development. On cold start (temps around 40F) I'm registering nearly zero movement on the oil pressure gauge. After warmup (coolant at full operating temp) oil pressure...

I hope this thread doesn't open up a can of worms. I did a search and I could only find a thread about this subject from 2012. What oil are y'all using during your oil changes? Any old oil filter good to go? Should I use a "high mileage" oil? My FJ62 only has 163K miles. I say "only" because I...

Looking for a 3B downward facing oil filter mount Thx C

Ok...started the turbo upgrade to my 1986 BJ75 today... the tear down fairly uneventful... Now that Im looking at things...looks like im going to have to relocate or flip my present oil filter configuration.. (presently with an upward mount) Also the Power steering reservoir may have to find a...

I'd like to add an oil cooler to a 2F. The factory setups seem to be uncommon and on the expensive side (compared to a cooler I already have) since the oil tap at the filter is pressurized. Am I looking in the wrong place (ebay)? Is there an easy way to tap into the unpressurized side of the...

Why is there so much moly in my diff? The axle seals were replaced 30,000 miles ago and inspected 10,000 miles ago. The breather is, um, breathing. There is ALOT of moly in my gear oil. This was synthetic 6000 miles ago. Mildly bearded drain plug These are newish gears (10,000...

Toyota recommends 0w-20. In other countries thicker oil has been recommended for older land cruisers. In the US we had a 5w-30 recommendation for the 1fz-fe when other parts of the world had thicker recommendations. Historically the land cruiser has been easy on oil with prior engines. I'm...

Hello guys Im building a stroker 105mm 1FZ-FE with lots of goods and Im gonna punch the hell out of it so im wondering if I need to have an oil cooler kit similar to this one?: Hayden Fluid Coolers 1040 what is your thought guys? should I just buy a kit? or just make my own one like buying a...

As the title says, need the oil sending unit for my 83 fj60. Anyone have a spare laying around? Let me know how much? Thanks, Luis

Background: Owned cruiser since dec last year Changed oil according to specs in FSM a month or two ago Has several leaks which leak a little, but not much. Oil light started coming on intermittently a few days ago. Usually on inclines. Fuel pressure is good, temp is good. I checked the stick...

Hey guys- just passing this along...I purchased 5 x 5quart containers of Pennzoil Platinum for the Tacoma the other day at Walmart...Pennzoil will refund $2 per quart purchased (up to $48 per household- got my check in about 2 weeks)...whole process can be done through their website...good deal...

So I purchased a super clean Fj62 with 200k for wife's rig. All was good til one morning I drove it and it wouldn't hardly go. No symptoms the day before. It was like the tranny was just spinning. I noticed the atf fluid was way over filled and the transfer case was very low. I did the...
