DIAGNOSTICS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
(3) With the engine OFF, add new fluid through the oil
filler pipe.
Fluid type: ATF DEXRON ®II
Capacity:
Dry fill: 11.0 liters (11.6 US qts, 9.7 Imp. qts)
Drain and refill: 1.9 liters (2.0 US qts, 1.7 Imp. qts)
(4) Start the engine and shift the shift lever into all posi-
tions from P to L position and then shift into P posi-
tion.
(5) With the engine idling, check the fluid level. Add fluid up to the COOL level on the dipstick.
(6) Check the fluid level at the normal operating tem- perature 70 − 80° C (158 − 176°F) and add as nec-
essary.
NOTICE:
Do not overfill.
(d) Check the fluid leaks.
Check for leaks in the transmission.
If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O −rings,
Seal packings, oil seals, plugs or other parts.
(e) Inspect and adjust the throttle cable. (1) Check that the throttle valve is fully closed.
(2) Check that the inner cable is not slack.
(3) Measure the distance between the outer cable endand stopper on the cable.
Standard distance: 0 − 1 mm (0 − 0.04 in.)
If the distance is not standard, adjust the cable by the adjusting
nuts.
(f) Inspect and adjust the shift lever position. When shifting the shift lever from the N position to other
positions, check that the lever can be shifted smoothly
and accurately to each position and that the position indi-
cator correctly indicates the position.
If the indicator is not aligned with the correct position, carry out
the following adjustment procedures. (1) Loosen the nut on the control rod.
(2) Push the control rod fully rearward.

LUBRICATION OIL AND FILTER
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result
in the removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to dry-
ness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil
contains potentially harmful contaminants which may
cause skin cancer.Care should be taken, therefore, when
changing engine oil to minimize the frequency and length
of time your skin is exposed to used engine oil. Protective
clothing and gloves that cannot be penetrated by oil should
be worn. The skin should be thoroughly washed with soap
and water, or use water−less hand cleaner, to remove any
used engine oil. Do not used gasoline, thinners, or sol-
vents.In order to preserve the environment, used oil and
used oil filters must be disposed of only at designated dis-
posal sites.
1. DRAIN ENGINE OIL
(a) Remove the oil filler cap.
(b) Remove the oil drain plug, and drain the oil into a contain-
er.
2. REPLACE OIL FILTER
(a) Using SST, remove the oil filter. SST 09228−44011
(b) Check and clean the oil filter installation surface.
(c) Apply clean engine oil to the gasket of a new oil filter.
(d) Lightly screw the oil filter into place, and tighten it until the
gasket contacts the seat.
(e) Using SST, tighten it an additional 3/4 turn. SST 09228−44011
3. FILL WITH ENGINE OIL
(a) Clean and install the oil drain plug with a new gasket.
Torque: 25 N·m (250 kgf·cm, 18 ft·lbf)
(b) Fill with new engine oil. Oil grade:
See step 1 in oil pressure check
