ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

1.

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
(a) Warm up the engine, then stop the engine and wait 

for 5 minutes.

(b) Check that the engine oil level is between the low 

level and full level marks on the level gauge.
If low, check for leakage and top oil up to the full 
level mark.
NOTICE:
Do not fill with engine oil to above the full level 
mark.

2.

CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
(a) Check the oil for deterioration, water intrusion, 

discoloration or thinning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade:

Use ILSAC multigrade engine oil. 
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for good fuel 
economy and good starting in cold weather.
 If SAE 5W-30 is not available, use SAE 10W-
30.
However, it should be replaced with SAE 5W-
30 at the next oil replacement.

3.

INSPECT OIL PRESSURE
(a) Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector.

(b) Using a 24 mm deep socket wrench, remove the oil 

pressure switch.

(c) Install the oil pressure gauge.
(d) Warm up the engine.
(e) Inspect the oil pressure.

Oil pressure

(f)

Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the oil pressure 
switch.
Adhesive:

Toyota Genuine Adhesive 1344, Three Bond 
1344 or the equivalent

(g) Using a 24 mm deep socket wrench, install the oil 

pressure switch.
Torque: 15 N*m (153 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf)
NOTICE:
Do not start the engine within 1 hour of the 
installation.

(h) Connect the oil pressure switch connector.
(i)

Check for engine oil leakage.

REPLACEMENT

CAUTION:
•

Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will 
cause the removal of natural oils from the skin, 
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In 
addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful 
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.

•

Precautions should be taken when replacing engine 
oil to minimize the risk of your skin making contact 
with used engine oil.

•

Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or 
use waterless hand cleaner to remove any used 
engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or solvents.

•

For environmental protection, used oil and used oil 
filters must be disposed of only at designated 
disposal sites.

1.

DRAIN ENGINE OIL
(a) Remove engine under cover seal No. 3.
(b) Remove the oil pan drain plug and drain the engine 

oil.

(c) Clean the oil pan drain plug and install it with a new 

gasket.
Torque: 40 N*m (408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf)

2.

REMOVE OIL FILTER SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the drain pipe cap.
(b) While removing the oil filter with SST, catch the oil 

from the oil filter with a container.
SST

(c) Install the drain pipe cap.

(d) Clean the oil catch plate.

HINT:
When using a drain hose, perform the following 
procedures.

(e) Remove the drain pipe cap.
(f)

Connect a drain hose to the oil filter bracket.
HINT:
•

Drain hose inside diameter: 8 mm (0.31 in.)

•

Drain hose length: 900 mm (35.43 in.)

(g) Feed the drain hose down through the engine under 

cover, and put the drain oil container beneath the 
drain hose to catch the oil from the oil filter.
