    Oil line broke! How can I fix this?

    Pics say it all. What are my options? Does anyone remember where the bottom of this line goes? I'm dreading taking my lifter cover off... I really hope I don't have to pull the motor to access it. Any help is very appreciated!

    Is there a gasket for the distributor shaft?

    Hey, I believe my rig is leaking a bit of oil where the distributor goes into the block. It's just metal on metal. Is there no gasket for this part? Thanks

    1989 Land Cruiser FJ62 dipstick length

    I recently inherited a FJ62. I had all the fluids changed at the dealer and it pretty much sat for the next 6 months. When I checked the oil this morning it was way past full, so I assumed they over filled it. I dumped all the oil and pulled the filter then did a refill. At 7 quarts it is...

    First oil change since purchase

    Hey everyone, I want to start changing my own oil. With the exception of the oil and the metal cap removal adapter, am I missing anything needed for an oil change? Is the factory recommended 5,000 mile interval with full synthetic the way to go? Anything I need to look out for? Finally, what...

    1995 Landcruiser with an Oil Light Fault

    I have a low oil pressure indicator dashboard light that is coming on when the pressure gauge is normal (see attached). So I suppose either the light is a false-positive, or the gauge is wrong (although the gauge seems to behave normally - drops on low revs and rises at higher revs). Any...

    What Differential oil and how much to use on 92 FJ80

    Hello, It's been a while since I haven't changed the differential oil from my FJ80 for a couple of years. Recently checked the oil and it's due. Any recommendations when changing it? What kind of oil and brand should I choose? I always try Napa autoparts. Thank you!

    Metal shavings in oil pan?

    I’m in the process of changing my oil pan, and I faintly noticed tiny metal shavings in the pan that did not appear in the oil change. You can also see sludge and a little bit of coolant residue that was from a bad oil cooler gasket which I replaced already. My issue is not knowing what to do. I...

    Fj45 Oil Bath Air Cleaner

    Hello Everyone Actually I have replaced my 2F engine with a 1HZ and put 2F's oil bath air cleaner for it. But the problem is the oil in oil bath goes to the intake manifold and then goes to the cylinder. The result is that oil burns and white smoke comes out from my exhaust. Does it have any...

    F engine oil brass nut going to head

    Hi I’m looking to buy the two compression fitting nuts that go from the block to the head. I lost mine and can’t find a place where buy, I already looked in SOR but they only have the pipe and ferrules. Also order some from McMaster but they don’t fit, according to my measurement they are...

    FJ80 Rebuild

    This car drips oil from the red circle spot, it seems to be collecting at that location based on the picture. I don't know what the source would be based on the collection/drip point but my first step is to degrease and clean the engine compartment. Based on some research, it could be from the...

    1KZ-TE oil

    I've been told that mineral/semi-synthetic is better than full synthetic for a 94 1kz. With EGR deleted would JASO DH-1 be better than JASO DH-2, as with the EGR removed there isn't any other exhaust treatment device? Also, I'm having a tough time finding JASO certified mineral oil in Canada...

    Oil change rookie mistake

    I changed the oil on my ‘84 Fj60 yesterday. Believe it or not, this is the first time I have ever changed the oil in any car. Not to pass the buck or anything but the Haynes manual neglected to say anything about replacing the drain plug crush washer (same in FSM, FWIW). So I reused the crush...

    Possible Rear Main Seal Leak

    Hi everyone, I am hoping to get a second opinion on a leak between the transmission and the engine. I have noticed the leak might be getting a little bit worse after I repaired the valve cover gasket and the distributor o-ring. The photos attached don't show much oil leaking because I wiped the...

    GM  Oil Pressure sending unit ohms

    I have a 1970 FJ40 with a small block 350. I’m not sure of the year of the motor. I’m trying to find out the operating ohm range for the oil pressure sending unit. I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere. I’m new to the mechanic game so over explaining is welcomed. 😁

    Oil Pressure Issues in my 1983 FJ60

    So after reading around on some of the other threads I thought I would post my own just to get some opinions as I am still new to the Landcruiser life. I have a 1983 60 series with somewhere around 220k or more (odometer/speedometer cable needs replaced) on the original 2f and have owned it for...
