INSTALL OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY
Clean the oil cooler assembly contact surface on the cooler mounting.
Install a new O-ring to the oil cooler assembly.
Install the oil cooler assembly with the oil cooler union bolt.
Install the No. 4 water by-pass hose and No. 5 water by-pass hose with the bolt, 2 clamps and 4 clips.
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY LH
ADD ENGINE COOLANT
Tighten the radiator drain cock plug by hand.
Close the 2 cylinder block drain cock plugs.
Loosen the air drain cock plug on the water inlet housing.
Add TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) to the radiator inlet opening until coolant overflows from the air drain cock hole. Then tighten the air drain cock plug.
| *a | Code Mark |
Check the code mark on the fan shroud.
Slowly fill the radiator assembly with TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC).
| Code Mark I and V | 9.2 liters (9.7 US qts, 8.1 Imp. qts) |
| Code Mark W | 9.4 liters (9.9 US qts, 8.3 Imp. qts) |
Tech Tips
TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA SLLC at the factory. In order to avoid damage to the engine cooling system and other technical problems, only use TOYOTA SLLC or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids).
Slowly pour engine coolant into the radiator reserve tank assembly until it reaches the full line.
Squeeze the No. 1 and No. 2 radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the level of the engine coolant.
If the engine coolant level is low, add engine coolant.
Install the radiator cap sub-assembly and reserve tank cap.
Bleed air from the cooling system.
Note
Before starting the engine, turn the A/C switch off.
Adjust the heater control to the maximum hot setting.
Adjust the blower speed to the low setting.
Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens. While the thermostat is open, circulate the engine coolant for several minutes.
Tech Tips
The thermostat open timing can be confirmed by squeezing the No. 2 radiator hose by hand, and sensing vibrations when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the No. 2 radiator hose.
Maintain the engine speed at 2500 to 3000 rpm.
Squeeze the No. 1 and No. 2 radiator hoses several times by hand to bleed air.
CAUTION:
When squeezing the radiator hoses:
Wear protective gloves.
Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.
Keep your hands away from the radiator fans.
Note
Make sure that the radiator reserve tank assembly still has some engine coolant in it.
If the coolant temperature gauge indicates an excessive temperature, turn off the engine and let it cool.
If there is not enough engine coolant, the engine may overheat or be seriously damaged.
If the radiator reserve tank assembly does not have enough engine coolant, perform the following: 1) stop the engine, 2) wait until the engine coolant has cooled down, and 3) add engine coolant until the radiator reserve tank assembly is filled to the full line.
Stop the engine, and wait until the engine coolant cools down.
Add engine coolant to the full line on the radiator reserve tank assembly.
ADD ENGINE OIL
Add clean engine oil and install the oil filler cap.
Note
Do not allow engine oil adhere to the moving parts of the belt tensioner, as this may cause malfunctions.
If engine oil is on the location indicated by the arrow, replace the belt tensioner.

INSPECT FOR COOLANT LEAK
CAUTION:
Do not remove the radiator cap sub-assembly while the engine and radiator are still hot. Pressurized, hot engine coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns.
Note
Before performing each inspection, turn the A/C switch OFF.
Fill the radiator with engine coolant and attach a radiator cap tester.
Warm up the engine.
Using a radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 118 kPa (1.2 kgf*cm, 17 psi), and check that the pressure does not drop.
If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator assembly and engine water pump assembly for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core, cylinder block and cylinder head.
INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK
INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Warm up the engine, stop it and wait 5 minutes. The engine oil level should be between the engine oil level dipstick low level mark and full level mark.
If the engine oil level is low, check for leakage and add engine oil up to the full level mark.
Note
Do not add engine oil to above the full level mark.
