• Q: How to replace the oil filter on 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: Before proceeding with oil filter replacement the operator must take necessary precautions against mineral oil contact which leads to skin irritation and dermatitis while wearing protective clothing with gloves. Start by draining the engine oil through the removal of 2 nuts and engine under cover No.3. Next, remove the oil filler cap followed by the oil drain plug until the oil collects in a container. The oil filter can be replaced by removing the 2 bolts and service hole cover, followed by using Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 to uninstall the oil filter. Before tightening the oil filter, apply clean engine oil to the rubber gasket and place the filter on its mounting so the gasket touches the seat. The filter should be tightened by hand to this position. Follow Step 11 on Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 to enable an added 3/4 turn of the filter seat. Proceed to install the oil drain plug with a new gasket and set the torque to 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft. lbs.) before adding new engine oil. The fill amount should be 6.8 liters (7.2 US qts., 6.0 Imp. qts.) with an oil filter change but decreases to 6.4 liters (6.8 US qts., 5.6 Imp. qts.) without filtration and another 8.0 liters (8.5 US qts., 7.0 Imp. qts.) when adding oil without filter Engine operation should follow oil filler cap installation then you must inspect for leakages before checking oil level again. Conclude by reinstalling both Engine Under Cover No.3 and Service Hole Cover.
