I've now read through all of this forums pages, searched, and searched the entire net, all with no solution. I also ordered and received the Ellery manual which is great, but I still don't have the original service intervals for this truck. When I purchased the truck they gave me a manual which turned out to be for the 70 series. All I'm really looking for is either an English translation of the owners manual or a copy of the service intervals for a 1990 HDJ81 4.2 turbodiesel landcruiser. Can anyone help?

The owner's manual doesn't have the service intervals, it's in a separate service manual which sorry I don't have. So here is my take on it anyway.
Engine basic service - Oil, oil filter, check drive belts and other levels every 3 - 5000 miles.
Engine other service - Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter, Fuel Filter plus levels and drive belts - Every 10000 miles.
All chassis lubrication points (grease points) every 5000 miles or after deep water or mud including driveshaft UJs, swivels etc.
Transmission - Gearbox oil level, diff levels, transfer box - check every 5000 miles or after deep water or mud.
CHange Timing belt every 60K miles. Replace transmission fluids every 30K miles, Change coolant every 2 years, change brake fluid every 4 years.
This is just from experience rather than from the Toyota schedule.
Also worth doing other things on a service like lubricating door locks, hinges etc.

you forget the PS fluid .. in my ex Suzuki Grand Vitara the owner manual claims change at 40 k kilometers.
Yep forgot the PS fluid.
And yes the recommendation is only change the filter every second oil change.... however I would never put clean oil through an old filter IMHO it's a waste of good oil. Might as well change it especially as it is so easy on the 1HD-T engine and only saves you a few dollars/pounds.

Me too for the cost of fuel oil filters .. I love change it at any service ( 5,000 km ) and the axles and tranny .. is cheap, is safe .. is prevention.

If you can pick your way through the French, the 1HD-T manual is online here:

I happen to know french, but even if you don't, the diagrams with torque specs, etc, can be very helpful.
