INSTALL OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY
Clean the oil cooler contact surface on the engine.
Apply a light coat of engine oil to 3 new gaskets.
Install the 3 new gaskets to the oil cooler.
Temporarily install the oil cooler with the union bolt, nut and a new seal washer.
| *1 | Union Bolt |
| *2 | Seal Washer |
| *3 | Nut |
Tighten the bolt and nut in several steps in the sequence shown in the illustration.
INSTALL ENGINE OIL LEVEL DIPSTICK GUIDE
Apply a light coat of engine oil to a new O-ring.
Install the O-ring to the engine oil level dipstick guide.
Install the engine oil level dipstick guide with the bolt.
Install the engine oil level dipstick.
INSTALL EXHAUST MANIFOLD
ADD ENGINE OIL
Add new oil.
| Oil Grade | Oil Viscosity (SAE) |

Install the oil filler cap.
ADD ENGINE COOLANT
Tighten the radiator drain cock by hand.
Remove the radiator cap.
Loosen the air drain valve.
Add TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) to the radiator inlet opening until coolant overflows from the air drain valve hole. Then tighten the air drain valve.
Slowly fill the radiator with TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC).
| Standard Capacity |
|---|
| 6.7 liters (7.1 US qts, 5.9 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).
Note
Never use water as a substitute for engine coolant.
| *a | Full Line |
Slowly pour coolant into the radiator reserve tank until it reaches the full line.
Install the radiator cap.
Squeeze the No. 1 and No. 2 radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the level of the coolant.
If the coolant level is low, add coolant.
Bleed air from the cooling system.
Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens. While the thermostat is open, circulate the coolant for several minutes.
Tech Tips
The thermostat open timing can be confirmed by squeezing the No. 2 radiator hose by hand, and checking when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.
Maintain the engine speed at 2500 to 3000 rpm.
Squeeze the inlet and 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 cooling fans.
Note
Make sure that the radiator reserve tank still has some 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 coolant, the engine may overheat or be seriously damaged.
If the radiator reserve tank does not have enough coolant, perform the following: 1) stop the engine, 2) wait until the coolant has cooled down, and 3) add coolant until the radiator reserve tank 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.
INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK
INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Warm up and stop the engine, then wait for 5 minutes.
Check that the oil level is between the low level and full level marks on the level dipstick.
If the level is low, check for leakage and add oil up to the full level mark.
Note
Do not fill the engine with oil to above the full level mark.
