2002 Toyota Land Cruiser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the oil cooler on 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: You must drain engine coolant before taking out the oil filter for servicing an oil cooler. First disconnect the two hoses from the oil cooler then eliminate the union bolt together with the plate washer while extracting the oil cooler from its place and retrieving the O-ring on the oil cooler. Check the oil cooler for damage while inspecting for obstruction then install a new one if needed. Begin by cleaning the oil cooler interface on its mounting location and subsequently position a new O-ring onto the surface of the oil cooler. Put engine oil only on the threads and under the union bolt head before adding the plate washer and installing the union bolt with final torque set at 68.6 Nm (700 kgf-cm, 51 ft lbs.). The installation process begins by attaching both oil cooler hoses to the oil cooler followed by reinstalling the oil filter and filling the system with engine coolant prior to engine startup. The technician should examine for any engine oil leaks alongside checking the oil level.
