oil change on the 1mz-fe
i know this is pretty much general info but i didn't see anyone post anything about changing the oil in the 1mz-fe.
1. go buy any kind of 5w-30 oil and an oil filter of your choice (look in the little book if you don't know which filter). buy 5 quarts of oil
2. cool the engine.
3. either use a car ramp, or jack and jack stands to get the front of your car up.
4. locate the oil pan. its close to the front passenger side wheel, you'll see it.
5. get a socket wrench and find the right socket and remove the bolt/ plug. it might take a little force.
6. drain the oil.
7. once the oil is done draining, remove the oil filter. there is oil in the filter so make sure you have something to collect it. the filter is located right under the headers.
8. get your new filter and lube up the brim with the new oil.
9. screw the filter on.
10. replace bolt/plug. make sure the gasket is on.
11. pour new oil in. use about 4.5 quarts.
12. lower the car.
sorry if this is stupid, just for the people who don't know how to change the oil in the 1mz fe. correct me if i'm wrong about anything.
