oil change on the 1mz-fe

Strange, on my old car, '68, you had to fill the new filter prior to installation. Which was a B@#$% cause it was mounted sideways right above the drivers side exhaust manifold. Which either meant you were smart and covered the manifold briefly while installing the filter. Or you had a mystery car that emerged out of a blue haze like the headless horseman for a while after an oil change. :lol:

i cant see any reason that a magnetic oil plug could cause any negative issues whatsoever. worst case senerio is metal gets magnatized and sucked back into engine and inturn magnatizes other metal or sticks to something..however the magnetic force would be so slight i very highly doubt either of these two could ever happen

also the help they would bring is minimal at best..if you change your oil as you should you will prbably never even see anything in it


a new car however may be a different story as more metal comes off those engines than a car that has already been broken in..yet to purchase new but still love my 2000 v6!

Good post, but a few ideas on oil changing on 1FMZe

Postby marc780 » Fri Jun 09, 2006 10:42 pm

- It's easier to do with just a mildy warm engine. This makes removing the filter easier 'cause the exhaust manifold will be cooler when you reach under it for the filter.

- There is no need to jack up the front just to change the oil. I just slide under. Not only does it save work, it's also much safer!

-I remove the plug and start the oil draining first. Then i change the filter while the oil is draining. Faster

-I don't see how you can fill the new filter with oil. On my engine the filter points downward. i just lube the seal and pour a little in.

-It's almost impossible to remove the old filter without dripping a lot of oil onto the ground, and your plastic engine cover plates. So put a medium size plastic bag under the filter before you unscrew it. Also put many sheets of newspaper or an old cookie pan under it too.

Reply:
1. Flame warning for newer members: Don't reactivate old threads unless absolutely necessary. I sure learned this the hard way.

2. You do have to jack it if you're lowered.

3. It's still recommended to add a bit of oil to the filter just to prevent "starving", even if the filter was pointing at a 45 degree angle.

The 1MZ was actually designed for 4.5 qts of oil. Its in the manual.

A couple of additions.

Warm the car up for 2 minutes, the oil drains better
Be sure to manually thread the oil pan plug back in and then use the socket, you don't wanna strip that.
Start up your car, let it run for a little, shut off your car and check the oil level



what do you do if you stripped it ?
