Lubrication System -- On-Vehicle Inspection



1. CHECK OIL QUALITY

  1. Check the oil for deterioration, water contamination, discoloring or thinning.
    If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil and oil filter element (LandCruiser RM000002O1G068X.html).



2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

  1. Warm up the engine, and then stop the engine and wait for 5 minutes.

  1. Check that the engine oil level is between the low level and full level marks on the dipstick.
    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 OIL PRESSURE

  1. Remove the oil pressure switch (LandCruiser RM000002ZAX018X.html).
