Toyota Land Cruiser Oil Maintenance
Toyota recommends the use of approved Toyota Genuine Motor Oil, or another motor oil of matching quality can also be used with an oil grade: 0W-20 and 5W-30. To enable longevity and prevent failure of the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), always use recommended engine oils.
The Toyota Land Cruiser comes equipped with two trip meters; A and B to record two separate distances travelled. The trip meter can also be used to display the distance the vehicle can be driven until an oil change is necessary. Each time the ODO/TRIP button is pressed (see ‘1’ in diagrams), the displayed item will be changed. When the trip meter is displayed, pressing and holding the button will reset the trip meter.
The Toyota Land Cruiser engine oil and filter should be changed approximately every 15,000 miles (25,000 km). The oil maintenance indicator wrench warning light illuminates and flashes when the engine oil is scheduled to be changed. Note: For the oil maintenance indicator light to work properly, it’s important that the oil maintenance data has been reset.
