I never did anything to cars until I purchased 200 series. Your videos and Project 200 videos are like my Bible for learning and doing my own maintenance. What seemed like a rocket science once has become as easy as drinking a glass of water. In last two years your videos helped a lot. Appreciate your contribution to The Landcruiser community
That is awesome feedback mate, thank you so much for sharing, I sincerely appreciate it. I still have a lot more 200 series modification and maintenance videos to come, so I trust you will continue to find value here. Cheers👍😎
Thanks mate. This weekend I changed the oil and oil filter, fuel filter and cabin air filter on my 200 series all thanks to your tutorials. Cheers mate, your videos are excellent.
That is awesome news Mark, I’m so glad they were useful. How about the feeling of accomplishment when you do it yourself aye, nothing like it. Good on ya mate, have an amazing weekend😎👍
I don’t own a Toyota but I had a great laugh at your “bugger me” moments! Add the Canadian twang to the mix and I’ve spent the whole arvo watching your clips about a vehicle I don’t even own! Well done and keep the content flowing.
That’s hilarious Dale, you made my day mate. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment mate, I sincerely appreciate it. New vids out every Friday at 3pm Queensland time😎👍
Thanks Terry! I finally “backed myself” and changed my oil at the 5k interval rather that waiting for my 10k mechanical service. I was surprised how gloopy the oil was, glad that I’ve changed it out. Had the issue with the drain plug spinning the filter housing. Onya mate, Tim.
I can't belive that i have the exact same funnel and it never occured to me to actually screw it on the oil filler. Valuable information indeed. I agree 5 k oil changes and i use 15w40 ^valvoline, you know what i mean^ and do my air filter every 10k. Thanks Terry. Cheers Eric, S.A.
That’s very cool Eric. That’s what I love about TH-cam and social media in general, you can always learn something, even if it’s funnel technology! Thanks for sharing your feedback mate, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
Good stuff Stefan, you won’t be disappointed. I feel much more reassured with the alloy housing than I do with that plastic unit. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
The part no. 15620-51010 is plastic filter housing. Part no. 15620-31060 is for aluminium filter housing and you may have to install the perforated tube from the plastic housing to aluminium housing and some doesn't come with the cap either. Hope this helps someone .
Best ever advice to buy the alloy filter housing, 2nd oil change done after breaking just a fin from the plastic shit on the first oil change... just need to change over the internal perforated filter insert from your plastic original, great/simple upgrade...
Hi mate I've been servicing my BMW x3 diesel 3ltr for 8 years now using penrite enviro 5w/40 . The reason for the enviro additive, is to help burn off particulates in the dpf exhaust. I have done 400,000 km from new doing all my own servicing and have had not one problem with anything, except changing a battery and the usual brake pads, tyres etc. The service interval as specified in the book is every 25000 km, which I have followed for the engine oil changes, and never changed the transmission oil. I have been told by the BMW service technicians that they have been replacing the dpf (diesel particulates filter) on the X3 and the X5's at around 100,000 km mark if using full synthetic oil , but without the enviro additive. The diesel particulates filters cost thousands to replace and if driven around the city all the time, will block up within 80,000 kms. I'm a farmer that does mechanical work on a lot of different machinery and vehicles for over 30 years, and also own a landcruiser 100 series 4.2 turbo diesel, changing the oil at the 8000 km mark. Because mine doesn't have the exhaust filter , I don't have to worry about the additive in the oil . There is a product from penrite, that you can add to the fuel to do the same job as the oil additive, not sure of its name. Keep up the good work on the videos, as I've subscribed and given the thumbs up.
Good stuff Grant, I am stoked that you’re having a go. Thanks a million for watching and commenting mate, it keeps me wanting to do these videos. Cheers 😎👍
Another great video. I would be replacing the sump plug washer as well each time. The toyota ones tend to squash down and can split if they are re-used.
Hi Jaffa adventure. Always fan of your contents love your work. But what came in to my attention today is time 9:28 you showing the part number looks like different part. I ordered other day same part and noticed that that metal sleeve is not long enough. I assume that’s for different car. Found the correct part number 15620-51010. May be im wrong or i got the wrong part 😅
Thanks for the video mate. Can i please ask...did you use a torque wrench to tighten the sump plug and oil filter? If so where did you find the torque settings for them? And im guessing you use a new sump plug washer each time ?
Yes, I replace the sump plug washer frequently, but not every time. I do services every 5000km and find the washer lasts a few services. I do not torque the plug down but having done this exercise hundreds of times, I just have a feel for it. I would imagine it’s not too hard to find the torque settings. The filter housing does not torque, but is by the detent in the housing and the small metal tab the fits into it. Cheers👍😎
Did my oil change, and I put 9 liters as the owner manual says. But, when i see it on the dipstick it is overfilled from one side, and the other side of the dipstick is in the right place. So, is it overfilled or not? I’m confused. Hope u can help me
I have read a document from toyota that says that due to oil consumption in those engine in the first years that it was released. The viscosity of the car should change to 5w40. Should I follow that document or still using 15w-40?
I’ve run 15/40 for the last 6 years without a drama. Ambient temperature for your region is important for viscosity selection. Its in you manual and on this video. Cheers
@@JafffaAdventures dont have the owner manual, but in dealer they say it should be 15w-40. I’m in Peru, where weather is hot. Upto 32°C. The previous owner was using 5w-40
Hi Terry, thanks for giving me the confidence to start my own servicing…did the oil and fuel filter change today all good. In respect of the oil and filter change, the oil pressure now seems a bit higher than previously when cold. Changed to Castrol Magnatec Diesel 15w/40 from Toyotas 10W30 maybe that’s why? When warm or at cruising it sits at quarter like it always did, just goes up to three quarters when warming up before dropping back to half and then when warmed up fully to quarter. We live in Gippsland VIC, temp rarely freezing, but colder in VIC than QLD nevertheless. Just wonder if temp high oil pressure is an issue at all???? (2014 GXL 140k.)
Good stuff Frank, I’m glad you have found some value here and it’s helped your confidence in giving it a crack yourself. Everyone started at the same spot mate, nobody was born with the knowledge😉. The thicker oil could explain the increase in pressure, but also new oil increases pressure as well. I find the same increase in pressure on my vehicles after a fresh oil change. Oil looses its viscosity as it ages over time, but you don’t notice it because it is so gradual. Even using the same weight oil on a change, you will see the pressure increase slightly. Bottom line, temporary increase in pressure is no problem and completely normal👍😎
@@JafffaAdventures Hi Terry, thanks for your prompt reply….also meant to ask about the Sakura filter? They are a bit cheaper than Ryco or Toyota, but have you found them same quality and performance and have you used them for a long time? Looking at getting consumables for next service. Thks. Frankn
@frankandkatenorden9834 I have been using them for the last 200,000km’s worth of services. Work fine, quality seems good as well. Note that I service my vehicle every 5000km. Cheers 👍😎
Thanks for the tutorial, always well advised on your videos. The lip on the side of the filter ? Is this a locking clip , seems to not do anything of purpose that I can work out. Any advice would be appreciated.
@JafffaAdventures To be honest , it does Sfa, I can turn the cap 360 degrees , and the clip does not stop any movement. There is a groove from the housing , just glides over it. Has got me intrigued of course. Any how , thanks for you reply. Cheers.
Thanks for the video. I just changed my oil and filter and considered making up a hatch where the filter is located so there won't be a need to remove the plates all the time. I have to lay on the ground to do mine. I noticed on the bash plate where the filter is located is the padding, what does that for do you think.
Thanks for the kind words, I sincerely appreciate it. I would only be guessing, but I think the foam is a form of sound deadener. Perhaps the plates rattle without it and the foam is there to absorb some of the vibration and prevent rattles. I’m just guessing of course. Cheers👍😎
Great simple video. If I sit the car on jack stands will the change in angle affect all the oil coming out of the sump and filter? Also as per another comment I was never aware that the ribs on the funnel allowed it to be screwed into the head. 👍
Thanks for the kind words Andrew, I sincerely appreciate it. I would think the car up on jack stands would make bugger all difference. You might have an extra mm of oil at the back of the sump (because the drain plug is on the front) but they would be about it mate. I too love the simple little hacks like the funnel when you find them out. It’s like opening a Christmas present 😎👍
Hi Andrew, thanks for watching and great question. Firstly, no I have not done a video for the transmission oil change. Secondly, I absolutely do do it and HIGHLY recommend it. Toyota claim the transmission does not need servicing, I disagree 100%. I bought my car second hand with 63K on the clock. It was used for towing a van. One of the first things I did was change the ATF and the stuff the came out was almost black!! The previous owner did not have a lock up kit fitted so no doubt it saw temperatures well above 100C when they had the anchor on the back. I have since done it once more and it looked much better, a cherry red. I will continue to change it every 30K or so. That's my interval that I made up based on how I use the vehicle. The next time I change it I will definitely cut a video. Cheers!
Mate, I am a made keen advocate of catch cans. I really would not want that black crap back through the intake, collecting and mixing with soot along the way😬😬. I’m running a Provent. Thanks for watching and for your kind words👍😎
Yes you are totally correct about the dealer's almost voracious want to cancel the warranty. Had my car serviced out of state on a trip across Australia and when next presenting for a service at the selling dealer they noticed the service, but were not aware that the service was carried out by a Toyota dealer. The pumped up dolly bird behind the counter(she had a bigger bust measurement than her IQ statistics !, neither excessive) must have thought she was on some sort of spotters fee for cancelling me out....epic fail by her, and a total loss of respect for that dealer. I also purchased an extended warranty when buying and soon discovered it wasn't worth the time, money, or trouble involved. The extended warranty carried with it an escape clause before expiry with a proportional refund....good luck getting that back. I was totally ignored in all my attempts. Therefore, never again a Toyota. I have also taken to doing my own servicing, after finding that dealers stripped the threads of nearly all the bolts holding the engine and transmission plates in place.
That’s bloody disappointing and poor form on Toyota’s behalf. When you’re one of the worlds largest manufacturers the first thing that gets tossed out the window is customer service and your experience exemplifies this. I feel for you John. Thanks for sharing your journey 😎👍
I fillowed your video and did my first oil change yesterday on my 2010 200 series. Mate i drained my sump for 15 min before i proceeded. After the parts were fitted and 9L of oil re0laced to my horror the oil level was 30mm overfilled? Any idea why this may be the case?
Could be a couple of reasons. First, I trust you changed the filter as well? If not, that could be one reason. Secondly, assuming you did change the filter, you have to start the vehicle and idle it for 30 seconds or so. The oil pump will fill the new filter up and that will drop the level down on your dip stick. Cheers👍😎
Hi Terry, that looks doable by someone who didn’t see any other tool except a keyboard. My 200 4.5 Diesel engine oil turns black within 1000 miles after service. How long should engine oil stay clean and is that color change an indicator of engines health?
You can definitely do it, just take your time and you will be fine. It's difficult to comment on why your oil would turn black so quickly. Using my 200 as a comparison, it stays pretty clean between services (which I do every 5000km). A quick colour change indicates impurities in the engine oil. That can only get in there through fuel. Either incomplete combustion or over fueling. I would be asking your mechanic if it is normal for your car. Cheers
@@JafffaAdventures Thank you very much for reply Terry. Much appreciated. Now I understand, we in UK do service at 10000 miles (roughly 16000 kms) and if car dosent do 10K miles we leave it for 2 years or more. Its the same 200 series, 4.5 V8 diesel engine with just 50000 miles but the long service intervals and all that abuse with irregular oil changes and filter changes might ve caused this black diesel. Instead of relying on long appointments from mechanics, i ll start doing on my own.
I Have land cruiser 2012 1 ur-Fe petrol engine I use oil viscosity 5w30 the weather maximum 33 in the summer minimum 15 in the winter sometime I go to the mountain I need u opinion
I just went and see Ipswich Toyota and I asked what engine oill you put into my diesel engine and she said we used 0 W 20 oil they used to be a higher grade oil than the all for lower emissions now i wonder how much damage they mt engine
Hi Terry I just bought a aluminium oil filter housing genuine Toyota part . I have noticed the aluminium cap has no retaining clip as the original plastic housing has a retaining clip . What is your thoughts on that please advice.
Yes mate, mine did not have one either. I have put over 100,000km on mine now and it’s never come lose. I would not be concerned if it was me, but that just based on how mine has travelled. Good question mate, thanks for sharing 😎👍
@@JafffaAdventures Thank you for your reply. Your videos are very informative thank you Terry for sharing. Mine done 90,000km . Thinking of doing my transmission fluid change any video on that coming up??
That’s incredible mate, 10 minutes ago I just finished shooting a video on just that. I have to edit it yet but it will be coming out in the next few weeks. Cheers😎👍
Good morning Terry. Just wondering if there is a reason why you haven’t fitted after market underbody protection (bash plates) or if you are planning on doing this mod? Best regards
Hi Mal, great question mate. You are correct, I have not nor do I intend to for two reasons. Firstly, aftermarket plates weigh a lot more than the factory items. I’m not keen on adding more weight to an already heavy vehicle. Secondly, the factory items have worked fine for me up to this point. I don’t do a lot of intentional rock crawling and the like, so never really saw the need. Now watch having said that, on my next trip a giant rock will punch the sump😂. Keeps the shiny side up mate👍😎
Thanks Terry. Having the same debate in my head. Keep the content coming very useful. Planning Simpson next year and really liked see your experience out there recently best regards
Awesome stuff Mal. The Simmo is my favourite place in the country mate. Weekly uploads coming your way mate. Thanks for your kind words and for following along😎👍
Yes mine pops out from time to time when I am doing an oil change as well but it’s easy enough to slide back into place. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment😎👍
Could you please tell me about the replacement aluminium filter holder - I checked mine and I have the black bake lite one - I have an 11th month 2007 build 200 series Sahara I rang Toyota today and quoted the Toyota part number 15620 - 31060 and they told me it was for a RAV 4 and Toyota Camry and could not guarantee it will fit mine
Hi Kevin. Thanks for the question mate. I just checked the part number you gave vs what I have here and you definitely have the right number. I was told from my dealer it is off a 79 Series. I guess the only thing I could suggest is buy it, try it out and return if it does not fit. I’m sure your 07 model is the same as my 10, the filter element is certainly identical. Alternatively, you could do a little more research on the 79 part number and try to match that up. Cheerss😎👍
Mine is a 2010. I don’t know if the filter housing is the same, but the oil filter element is identical across all 200 Series so I would suspect so. Pays to do your own homework of course. Cheers 👍😎
@@JafffaAdventures The oil filter you show part no: 15620-31060 is not compatible with the new facelift 200 diesel models. That housing is off a RAV4. For those who have diesel facelift models of the 200 series, you can purchase a metal housing. It is the 79 series version, and is compatible (Toyota technician confirmed yesterday). The only difference is that the 79 series version does not have the central oil drain plug underneath. Though, as stated in this video, more often than not the whole housing just turns anyway. The Toyota technician explained they dont bother with the central drain anyway and just remove the whole housing. Here is the part number for those with a facelift 200 series: 15620-51010
I have removed the dpfs from a facelift model, I’m thinking possibly the dpf also hold oil and therefore the dip stick measurement is now out? Not sure though.
Gotcha.... overfilled.... mate do your self a favor and under fill a tatt on the oil change and cold oil. Many engines don’t like overfills and can go horrible wrong. Dip stick check is also a thing what everybody think is the easiest part in the world. Except for the Merc engines non diesel of course. Don’t belief.... check out a German web page the guy is the Merc engine Guru. Cheers and have a nice weekend.
Ask professionals, they will tell you that insert oil filter are the best in the long run. Yes, the filter unit with a screw on cover is 1 x more expensive. Filter inserts are much less expensive. Think also about the environment!
@@holgermuller2987 That's ridiculous. A Landy will burn more fuel in a lifetime then can ever be made better for the environment than a few oil filters. Ludicrous thought process.
😂 Toyota will get out of warranty for anything... "Do it yourself so know its done right".... Toyota should void if you let there dealer clowns 🤡 touch your 200... From your videos learning to do it all with easy. Funny how the only hard part is removing all the stripped head feom every Toyota touched every other prior series 😅

You have a great weekend.
We are up Alice Springs heading towards Woomera.
Nice one.
Thank you sir, I sincerely appreciate it😎👍
Good job
Cheers mate👍😎
Great video mate. Is there torque settings for the filter housing or plug?
No mate there is no torque setting for the housing. You just spin it until the housing tab seats in its seating location. Thanks for watching 👍😎
Thanks for the video. I just changed my oil and filter and considered making up a hatch where the filter is located so there won't be a need to remove the plates all the time. I have to lay on the ground to do mine. I noticed on the bash plate where the filter is located is the padding, what does that for do you think.
Thanks for the kind words, I sincerely appreciate it. I would only be guessing, but I think the foam is a form of sound deadener. Perhaps the plates rattle without it and the foam is there to absorb some of the vibration and prevent rattles. I’m just guessing of course. Cheers👍😎
Great simple video. If I sit the car on jack stands will the change in angle affect all the oil coming out of the sump and filter? Also as per another comment I was never aware that the ribs on the funnel allowed it to be screwed into the head. 👍
Thanks for the kind words Andrew, I sincerely appreciate it. I would think the car up on jack stands would make bugger all difference. You might have an extra mm of oil at the back of the sump (because the drain plug is on the front) but they would be about it mate. I too love the simple little hacks like the funnel when you find them out. It’s like opening a Christmas present 😎👍
Hey Terry, have you done a video for the transmission oil change and basic service, or is this something you don't do?
Hi Andrew, thanks for watching and great question. Firstly, no I have not done a video for the transmission oil change. Secondly, I absolutely do do it and HIGHLY recommend it. Toyota claim the transmission does not need servicing, I disagree 100%. I bought my car second hand with 63K on the clock. It was used for towing a van. One of the first things I did was change the ATF and the stuff the came out was almost black!! The previous owner did not have a lock up kit fitted so no doubt it saw temperatures well above 100C when they had the anchor on the back. I have since done it once more and it looked much better, a cherry red. I will continue to change it every 30K or so. That's my interval that I made up based on how I use the vehicle. The next time I change it I will definitely cut a video. Cheers!
@@JafffaAdventures yes , much anticipation for that one, cheers
Hi Terry
Nice ‘tutorial’
What brand catch can do you have ? I don’t have one on my vehicle, but I am starting to think I should.
Cheers....
Mate, I am a made keen advocate of catch cans. I really would not want that black crap back through the intake, collecting and mixing with soot along the way😬😬. I’m running a Provent. Thanks for watching and for your kind words👍😎
Jafffa Adventures thx for reply & info
My pleasure mate👍
Yes you are totally correct about the dealer's almost voracious want to cancel the warranty. Had my car serviced out of state on a trip across Australia and when next presenting for a service at the selling dealer they noticed the service, but were not aware that the service was carried out by a Toyota dealer. The pumped up dolly bird behind the counter(she had a bigger bust measurement than her IQ statistics !, neither excessive) must have thought she was on some sort of spotters fee for cancelling me out....epic fail by her, and a total loss of respect for that dealer. I also purchased an extended warranty when buying and soon discovered it wasn't worth the time, money, or trouble involved. The extended warranty carried with it an escape clause before expiry with a proportional refund....good luck getting that back. I was totally ignored in all my attempts. Therefore, never again a Toyota. I have also taken to doing my own servicing, after finding that dealers stripped the threads of nearly all the bolts holding the engine and transmission plates in place.
That’s bloody disappointing and poor form on Toyota’s behalf. When you’re one of the worlds largest manufacturers the first thing that gets tossed out the window is customer service and your experience exemplifies this. I feel for you John. Thanks for sharing your journey 😎👍
I fillowed your video and did my first oil change yesterday on my 2010 200 series. Mate i drained my sump for 15 min before i proceeded. After the parts were fitted and 9L of oil re0laced to my horror the oil level was 30mm overfilled? Any idea why this may be the case?
Could be a couple of reasons. First, I trust you changed the filter as well? If not, that could be one reason. Secondly, assuming you did change the filter, you have to start the vehicle and idle it for 30 seconds or so. The oil pump will fill the new filter up and that will drop the level down on your dip stick. Cheers👍😎
Hi Terry, that looks doable by someone who didn’t see any other tool except a keyboard. My 200 4.5 Diesel engine oil turns black within 1000 miles after service. How long should engine oil stay clean and is that color change an indicator of engines health?
You can definitely do it, just take your time and you will be fine. It's difficult to comment on why your oil would turn black so quickly. Using my 200 as a comparison, it stays pretty clean between services (which I do every 5000km). A quick colour change indicates impurities in the engine oil. That can only get in there through fuel. Either incomplete combustion or over fueling. I would be asking your mechanic if it is normal for your car. Cheers
@@JafffaAdventures Thank you very much for reply Terry. Much appreciated. Now I understand, we in UK do service at 10000 miles (roughly 16000 kms) and if car dosent do 10K miles we leave it for 2 years or more. Its the same 200 series, 4.5 V8 diesel engine with just 50000 miles but the long service intervals and all that abuse with irregular oil changes and filter changes might ve caused this black diesel. Instead of relying on long appointments from mechanics, i ll start doing on my own.
Smart call mate, you will not be disappointed 😎👍
I Have land cruiser 2012 1 ur-Fe petrol engine I use oil viscosity 5w30 the weather maximum 33 in the summer minimum 15 in the winter sometime I go to the mountain I need u opinion
That sounds about right to me, just double check that little viscosity table in your owners manual. Thanks for watching 😎👍
I just went and see Ipswich Toyota and I asked what engine oill you put into my diesel engine and she said we used 0 W 20 oil they used to be a higher grade oil than the
all for lower emissions now i wonder how much damage they mt engine
That is a very light weight oil. As per video, your users manual as the oil weight to use vs temperature. Cheers
@@JafffaAdventures think for reply
Hi Terry I just bought a aluminium oil filter housing genuine Toyota part . I have noticed the aluminium cap has no retaining clip as the original plastic housing has a retaining clip . What is your thoughts on that please advice.
Yes mate, mine did not have one either. I have put over 100,000km on mine now and it’s never come lose. I would not be concerned if it was me, but that just based on how mine has travelled. Good question mate, thanks for sharing 😎👍
@@JafffaAdventures Thank you for your reply. Your videos are very informative thank you Terry for sharing. Mine done 90,000km . Thinking of doing my transmission fluid change any video on that coming up??
That’s incredible mate, 10 minutes ago I just finished shooting a video on just that. I have to edit it yet but it will be coming out in the next few weeks. Cheers😎👍
Will it make a difference if the engine has egr or not on oil drain intervals?
No mate, interval should remain constant regardless. Cheers👍😎
Good morning Terry. Just wondering if there is a reason why you haven’t fitted after market underbody protection (bash plates) or if you are planning on doing this mod? Best regards
Hi Mal, great question mate. You are correct, I have not nor do I intend to for two reasons. Firstly, aftermarket plates weigh a lot more than the factory items. I’m not keen on adding more weight to an already heavy vehicle. Secondly, the factory items have worked fine for me up to this point. I don’t do a lot of intentional rock crawling and the like, so never really saw the need. Now watch having said that, on my next trip a giant rock will punch the sump😂. Keeps the shiny side up mate👍😎
Thanks Terry. Having the same debate in my head. Keep the content coming very useful. Planning Simpson next year and really liked see your experience out there recently best regards
Awesome stuff Mal. The Simmo is my favourite place in the country mate. Weekly uploads coming your way mate. Thanks for your kind words and for following along😎👍
Do you not use the metal clip that is supposed to stop the filter twisting off?
Sorry i know you make note of the clip but my one doesn,t appear to stay in place after removing filter housing.
Yes mine pops out from time to time when I am doing an oil change as well but it’s easy enough to slide back into place. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment😎👍
Could you please tell me about the replacement aluminium filter holder - I checked mine and I have the black bake lite one - I have an 11th month 2007 build 200 series Sahara I rang Toyota today and quoted the Toyota part number 15620 - 31060 and they told me it was for a RAV 4 and Toyota Camry and could not guarantee it will fit mine
Hi Kevin. Thanks for the question mate. I just checked the part number you gave vs what I have here and you definitely have the right number. I was told from my dealer it is off a 79 Series. I guess the only thing I could suggest is buy it, try it out and return if it does not fit. I’m sure your 07 model is the same as my 10, the filter element is certainly identical. Alternatively, you could do a little more research on the 79 part number and try to match that up. Cheerss😎👍
@@JafffaAdventures new 79 series part no: 15620-51010 . Kevin you are correct, the part no: in this video is for a RAV4.
Excellent work! They must have put my housing in a different box🤔
what year is your 200 series? does the oil filter housing 15620-31060 you show fit the facelift models? I have a 2016 VX.
Mine is a 2010. I don’t know if the filter housing is the same, but the oil filter element is identical across all 200 Series so I would suspect so. Pays to do your own homework of course. Cheers 👍😎
@@JafffaAdventures The oil filter you show part no: 15620-31060 is not compatible with the new facelift 200 diesel models. That housing is off a RAV4. For those who have diesel facelift models of the 200 series, you can purchase a metal housing. It is the 79 series version, and is compatible (Toyota technician confirmed yesterday). The only difference is that the 79 series version does not have the central oil drain plug underneath. Though, as stated in this video, more often than not the whole housing just turns anyway. The Toyota technician explained they dont bother with the central drain anyway and just remove the whole housing. Here is the part number for those with a facelift 200 series: 15620-51010
What brand oil filter do you use? That's not a Toyota genuine element.
It’s a Sakura. Cheers
Is it the same process for regular gasoline 5.7L v8 engine?
Don't know mate, I do not own a petrol model. Cheers
Hey mate, after filling only 9L my oil was reading past the full mark by 5mm, I thought the facelift could fit 9.2L?
Hi mate, you are dead right the oil capacity is 9.2 litres with a filter change. Not sure why yours would be overfilled. Cheers 👍
I have removed the dpfs from a facelift model, I’m thinking possibly the dpf also hold oil and therefore the dip stick measurement is now out? Not sure though.
My 2019 VX-R only filled with 7.5 liter. I tried 9 once, it was way above the maximum. Wonder why is that?
Very odd indeed 🤔
@@cemarabdg 7.5 liter sama filternya om? Atau ga ganti filter?
Gotcha.... overfilled.... mate do your self a favor and under fill a tatt on the oil change and cold oil. Many engines don’t like overfills and can go horrible wrong. Dip stick check is also a thing what everybody think is the easiest part in the world. Except for the Merc engines non diesel of course. Don’t belief.... check out a German web page the guy is the Merc engine Guru. Cheers and have a nice weekend.
Thanks for the tip, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience. Cheers👍😎
What the hell is wrong with a spin on filter Mr. Toyoda? LOL.
I hear ya brother👍👍👍
Ask professionals, they will tell you that insert oil filter are the best in the long run. Yes, the filter unit with a screw on cover is 1 x more expensive. Filter inserts are much less expensive. Think also about the environment!
@@holgermuller2987 That's ridiculous. A Landy will burn more fuel in a lifetime then can ever be made better for the environment than a few oil filters. Ludicrous thought process.
*Jafffa Adventures* Nice Video🙂 Lets suppport each other👍
Cheers, I appreciate you taking the time to comment 👍😎
Резинку слишком низко одел, она после резьбы должна быть.
No definitely not. The rubber o ring is right where it should be and it is critical this is done correctly. Thanks for watching!
😂 Toyota will get out of warranty for anything...
"Do it yourself so know its done right"....
Toyota should void if you let there dealer clowns 🤡 touch your 200...
From your videos learning to do it all with easy. Funny how the only hard part is removing all the stripped head feom every Toyota touched every other prior series 😅
Good stuff mate, I’m glad you found some value here…and I absolutely agree with your dealer sentiments👍😎
