• Q: How to service and repair the oil cooler on 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: Starting the engine oil cooler repair process involves first removing both the engine under cover rear together with the No. 1 engine under cover. First drain engine coolant and engine oil before moving to remove the oil filter sub-assembly component. Detach oil cooler hoses from the oil cooler and unfasten the union bolt as well as the plate washer for oil cooler removal. Extract the O-ring from the oil cooler when finished. The engine oil cooler requires a thorough inspection for damage or clogging before getting replaced if needed. Before assembly clean the surface of the mounting section on the oil cooler and install a fresh O-ring to the cooler. Then apply an engine oil layer to the threads and under the bolt head. The oil cooler installation requires the operator to place the components together with the plate washer and union bolt before tightening them to 68.6 N m (700 kgf cm, 51 ft. lbf). Proceed with the installation of the oil filter sub-assembly and subsequently place the No. 1 engine under cover and the engine under cover rear. Perform the engine oil and engine coolant addition before examining for coolant leaks while verifying the correct engine oil level.
