OIL AND FILTER
INSPECTION
1. CHECK OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thin-
ning.
If oil quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade (2JZ-GE):
API grade SH Energy-Conserving II or SJ, Energy-
Conserving or ILSAC multigrade engine oil.
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for your vehicle, for
good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weath-
er.
Oil grade (2JZ-GTE):
API grade SH Energy-Conserving II or SJ, Energy-
Conserving or ILSAC multigrade engine oil.
Recommended viscosity is as shown in the illustra-
tion.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The oil level should be between the low level and full level marks
on the dipstick.
If low, check for the leakage and add oil up to full level mark.
3. REMOVE ENGINE UNDER COVER
4. 2JZ-GTE:
REMOVE NO.2 AIR TUBE
Loosen the 2 hose clamps, and remove 2 bolts and air tube.
5. 2JZ-GTE M/T:
REMOVE DRIVE BELT TENSION DAMPER
Remove the 2 nuts and tensioner damper.
6. REMOVE DRIVE BELT
Loosen the drive belt tension by turning the drive belt tensioner
clockwise, and remove the drive belt.
