Lubrication System -- On-Vehicle Inspection



1. INSPECT OIL QUALITY

  1. Check the engine oil for deterioration, water contamination, discoloration or thinning.
    If the quality is visibly poor, replace the engine oil and oil filter (Toyota Fortuner RM000003TKO00YX.html).



2. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL

  1. Warm up the engine, stop the engine and wait 5 minutes. The engine oil level should be between the dipstick low level mark and full level mark.
    If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full level mark.

    NOTICE:
    Do not fill engine oil above the full level mark.


3. INSPECT ENGINE OIL PRESSURE

  1. Remove the engine oil pressure switch (Toyota Fortuner RM00000463L00QX.html).
