oil

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?

I've had good advice so far for my sortie into the world of the BJ40. Thanks! If anyone from around the world has a source for proper filters for the 3B motor, I'd be grateful. Thx

2004 LX470 128k miles what key hole lubricant is your go to this thing keeps locking up and wont turn until its gets oil. Ive tried to clean it with a degreaser then using a silicone lube then the issue comes back within 1 week and its not like she drives everyday. Do I need to pull it and...

It seems that my oil filter is leaking around the top. It's a Fram and I've read that it is easy to overtighten them crushing the gasket. So what and where can I find an appropriate oil filter for replacement and future oil changes? Thanks

Hi folks, time to service my 40-Series and, after a long pause, bring it back to the road again... I changed the gear box oil: according to the owner's manual the specs are API GL-4 or 5 and viscosity SAE 90. Went to my local parts shop and they gave me this gear oil: specs GL-5 and viscosity...

What is everyone’s plan for oil changes on their 600? I know Toyota rec is every 10K but is anyone doing 5k changes? I plan to keep mine for 300k+ so I’ll do whatever is necessary. Just not really sure if 10k is good in the long run.

All for a 1965 FJ45. One spring needed (can't believe it did not come in oil filter kit, robbed picture of one below) and 2 exhaust manifold studs manifold side is M12 1.50. I have bolts I can use but would rather have the correct studs. Thanks...

Hi all, I am looking to get back an LC100, and have found one to buy that interests me. The issue I see, is on one of the photos of the underbody the suspension arm has what looks like oil leaking. Any thoughts what could be the cause of this? - Brake fluid leaking? - Front seal cover need...

I just bought this 1984 cruiser. The truck is clean. I noticed a small drop of oil last night. I went under the truck and it looks it was coming out of a plug. Can someone help me with this? I uploaded the photo

I am selling an Oil Cooler off a core 3FE I bought. 150 + buyer pays to ship

I am not sure if this is the right section to ask this question, but here goes. We have a 2002 Corolla sedan that we have had for many years. 5 speed. My kids have learned to drive in it, driven it to high school, and taken it away to college. It has served us very well. They are great...

New to the torque app . Where do I find the plugin needed to read my oil pressure?

2017 LC 200 here... I was driving yesterday after just leaving my house 5 min earlier. Upon "hammering" down to get on the freeway for about 10-15 seconds (pretty much full throttle), I backed off and received a low oil light for about 3 seconds then it went off. I pulled over within a minute...

Before selling my last Land Cruiser I removed a Jowett Performance Filter Housing along with an EZ oil drain valve (both sourced from Jowett). Also sourced at the same time (can't remember if I got it from Jowett) is the "socket" one would use to remove the housing from the vehicle. Have no...

Hi All, I have standard 100 series 4.7 2uz-fe. The soft engine/splash protection under plate/tray has a 'window' for oil changes attached by 2 bolts. Mine is gone. Any know the part number to replace that little 10inch access plate? I'm not looking for the front unit that allows access to oil...
