I ran PennGrade1 SAE30 break in oil for the first 400 miles. Today I changed the filter and refilled with new break in oil that I will run for another 200-400. I will then switch over to synthetic.
This oil has a dark green color when new and it drained somewhat similar.
I cleaned out an open oil drain pan before draining the oil and then ran a strong magnet through it to try and find any metal. None found.
The oil catch pan that I installed under the oil filter is amazing. It keeps the oil from making a mess.
I do need to buy an oil filter wrench/socket tool. I have very large groove joint pliers that I use right now.

When I did the H152 swap, I also tried to modify the injection pump to match a manual configuration. Earlier in the thread I replaced the lever (22701-17590, 22701-17591, or 22701-17592 depending on required angle) and idle up assembly (22305-17140) since there is no kickdown cable to the tranny with the H152. The last part was to replace the lever spring (22728-54010) and install a return spring guide (22728-54010) that is not present with an auto.

Comparing the manual (left) vs auto (right) springs. The spring guide also pictured.

You also need the correct oil cooler. The little cup below the filter doesn’t mount to all oil coolers.

Cheers
Do you have a bit more detail on that @SNLC? I'd very much like to make this change on my 80 with the 1HZ engine. My old LN106 hilux had a mod you could do where you swapped the oil cooler housing from a Coaster and it made the filter mount vertically from the bottom, which meant no mess. I hate how messy changing the filter is on my 1HZ. Do you have to change out the actual copper cooler element inside to fit the new housing, or is it as simple as putting the new housing on with the bracket?
