Preparing to do my first oil change on my "new to me" 2011. Looking for tips and pointers.
Land Cruiser details:
200 Series, 2011, 5.7 liter, Texas USA
All factory original, one owner. Purchased used in November 2020
50,000 miles (So basically new).
Excellent condition in, out and under. Got lucky on this find! I'm a very proud pappa.
My experience:
Previously owned a 2002 4Runner, 2006 Tundra, 2006 Sequoia. Changed oil on all and did my own maintenance. Never had any issues with any of those previous Yodas. I have some mechanical experience working on cars, doing it since I was a kid, 45 years old now. My dad was a diesel mechanic.
Working on getting tools and materials together now. This is what I have so far:
(1) Toyota oil - 0W-20 (Owner's manual calls for 7.9 quarts with filter)
(2) Toyota filter - got both TRD and Toyota standard filter for 5.7l
(3) Filter removal tool for 5.7l
(4) Ratchets and sockets
(5) Oil collection pan
(6) Oil filter draining tool
After I get this first one behind me, I'm looking to do some upgrades to make it a little easier on future changes.
