Djaniero Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Has anyone got a tutorial of how to do an oil and filter change on a GT?I've had a look on the forum, but can't seem to find one?My mechanic usually does them for me (hes away atm), but I wonna have a go at doing it myself.Also is there any main differences between a Toyota oil filter and a motor factors cheap filter?

H_D Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 get a blueprint filter they are excellent quality - part number ADT32109. Remove oil cap.remove sump plug and let the oil drain for 20-25 mins - the longer the better,Once its drained put the sump plug back on with a new washer.Unscrew the oil filter its located next to the turbos cold side.once all of the oil has drained from the oil filter housing wipe it clean and screw the new filter in.Put 2.8 litres of oil in the car and put the oil cap back on. I always prime my engine before 1st startup after an oil change - To do this remove the spark plugs and EFI fuse and crank the engine till the oil light goes off on the dash.put the plugs and efi fuse back in and fire her up.

Djaniero Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Thanks H_D Do I need any specialist tool to remove the filter? How comes you need to prime the engine? Another member said to do this after I've installed my td04 too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) run car till it's warm before starting the oil change, the oil will drain better, it'll be all drained and no more drips after 10 mins max. as H_D says though Edited July 18, 2014 by Jamie5414 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 i just use my hands to remove it.if its too stiff then use a big pipe wrench.No need for fancy tools. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah. Run the car to normal temperatureAlso remeber with how you jack it up to jack it level. And fill it level Otherwise it won't all drain, or won't fill to the right level Quote Link to post Share on other sites
