FZJ tune up time (1 Viewer)

[PDoyle]

I 've searched earlier posts. Still a couple questions though...
Which oil OEM filter is the one that keeps the oil in the filter after shut down for an FZJ?

Which spark plugs, and size ( sorry don't want to start confrontation here) OEM do you guys reccomend are for the FZJ?

Should I stay with 10 -30 oil?

Thanks much...

Pat,

The prefered oil filters are 15600-41010 (large) or 90915-20004 (small).

The correct spark plug is 90919-01176 unless you have a forced-induction motor, in which case the 90919-01180 is a better choice.

In reference to the prefered oil, you have exposed a whole new can-o-worms.

TMS USA originally listed 10w-30 as the recommended oil and in later years switched to 5w-30. In other markets the listings also include oils with heavier weights. I believe that the lighter weight oils recommended here (US) stem from fuel economy goals.

In my personal vehicle (forced induction 1FZ-FE) I run Valvoline 15w-40 All-fleet.
Many of the members run synthetic oils, most prefer Mobile1 of various weights.

Motor oil preference tends to be like a$$holes, we all have one and they all stink.

it's also a good time to walk around your truck at dusk and look at all the lights to see if any bulbs are out.

Hey Cbag , any possibility that the interior door lights or dome lights (you know the ones we replaced with George's LED's) are the same bulb as the liscense plate bulbs? On a beater of course.

They are not the same.

True...

Just did all of my lights, and installed the Aust side blinkers. Replace your 1057 bulbs in the rear with 2057's while your at it. Brighter is better.

Thanks very much Dan.
Why is there 2 types ( large and small) of oil filters?
Shortbus, what are Aust side markers?
