12-40 Simple inspection and service
1. If the engine is cold, warm it up until the engine
oil temperature reaches approximately 40°C
(104°F). (It takes approximately 20 minutes of
idling to raise the engine oil temperature from
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).)
NOTE:
Be sure to warm up the engine. Unless you warm
up the engine, engine oil may spill out when you
remove the oil filter case.
2. Tilt the cab. P. 12-6
With a Crew-cab model vehicle, remove the
screws and unfasten the clips to remove
the rear part of the engine side cover.
If it is difficult to access the engine inspection
opening, remove the front part of the engine
side cover.
Open the engine inspection opening.
3. Clean the area surrounding the oil filter case to
prevent dirt from entering the new filter element.
4. Turn the oil filter case counterclockwise
(about two and a half turns) to loosen it.
5. Remove the air plug of the oil filter case by
turning it counterclockwise. Replace the
removed air plug with a new plug. Wait for at
least 5 minutes after removing the air plug to let
oil inside the case drain out completely.
When replacing engine oil, remove the oil filler
cap and then the drain plug. P. 12-26
WARNING
• Spilt engine oil should be wiped off clean.
Oil remaining on the engine surface could
catch fire.
• Do not replace the oil filter immediately
after operating the vehicle since the
engine, transmission, exhaust pipe,
engine oil, and other items will be
extremely hot. If you try to replace the oil
filter immediately after driving the vehicle,
you may be scalded. Give the engine time
to cool before starting the job.
