What kind of oil should I put into the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 engine?

The level of depreciation of individual elements of the Toyota Land Cruiser J200 largely depends on the conditions in which the car is operated and how well it is maintained.

The quality of maintenance significantly affects the wear rate of engine components. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to minimize friction between rubbing parts and maintain optimal temperature.

The main principle of increasing engine life is to use high-quality oil and change it regularly, this is how a reliable engine will operate under the hood of your car.

Saving on oil entails accelerated wear of elements. Therefore, high-quality oil provides better lubrication of the rubbing parts of the engine, although reliability is affected not only by engine oil.

When to change

The heating and cooling cycle of the oil constantly wears out its protective qualities, for this reason the engine oil gradually becomes less and less efficient and must be replaced on time for proper engine operation.

The manufacturer suggests changing the oil every 10,000 km, but this is not entirely true in practice, since each car owner has individual conditions, therefore, first of all, we recommend taking into account the engine hours

.

Engine hours (mh) is a more accurate indicator that determines the need for an oil change:

• 250 mph
  is the optimal interval for frequent vehicle use. The optimal interval for most car owners who mostly drive within the city;
• 300-320 mph
  - fully possible under lighter conditions, for example with partial use of the car or in most cases on the highway;

Engine hours: ...

Replacement more frequently is recommended when: using a rack, towing a trailer, short trips of less than 10 km, or when using the vehicle off-road.

As an alternative to engine hours, you can select an individual interval using the form below, selecting your operating mode as a percentage.

Most LC J200 owners change the oil at intervals in the range of 5000-8000 km

Oil change frequencies for Land Cruiser 200

The frequency of changing the lubricant in the crankcase of a gasoline engine is 1 year or 10 thousand km. In difficult operating conditions (when driving in traffic jams, towing a trailer or traveling in the mountains), it is recommended to reduce the interval to 7–8 thousand km.

Diesel cars must be serviced every 6 months or 5 thousand kilometers. The manufacturer does not regulate oil changes in automatic transmissions and transfer gearboxes, requiring drainage of waste from differential housings every 4 years or 40 thousand km.

Which one to pour?

In most cases, engines in modern Toyota cars use 0W-30 or 5W-30 synthetics. Most owners choose this oil directly; moreover, in some climatic zones it is used all year round.

Taking into account the operating conditions of the engine, mileage and climate, the manufacturer recommends filling in Toyota engine oil, or an equivalent that meets the requirements of the engine manufacturer.

Thus, in 1GR (GRJ200 EURO III and earlier) and 2UZ (UZJ200) engines it is recommended to use 5W-30, 10W-30, 15W-40 or 20W-50 oils

Toyota engineers recommend pouring into 1UR-FE (URJ200) engines: 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, 15W-40 or 20W-50. These recommendations are also relevant for 1GR EURO IV and later models

For a top-end SUV equipped with a 5.7-liter 3UR engine (URJ200) - 0W-20 or 5W-20 is recommended

For the only diesel modification LC J200 with a 1VD-FTV unit (VDJ200 EURO IV) - 5W-30 oil is recommended

For 1VD (VDJ200 EURO V), 0W-30 is primarily recommended, which is actually poured into it at the factory

Which oil should you choose?! This is a question without a general answer, since there are several points to take into account:

• climate;
• driving style;
• engine condition and mileage;

City traffic jams, accompanied by short distances and frequent stops, are the most stressful for the engine. All this puts considerable stress on the engine and accelerates wear of the engine oil. Completely different conditions for an engine outside the city: stable revolutions and speed limits.

It is also worth considering the climate. In the summer, it is best to pour 5W-20, 5W-30 or 5W-40 oil into the Toyota Land Cruiser J200 - if you have a very hot summer or the car is often used off-road, or you prefer a dynamic driving style.

If you used 5W-40 oil, which caused “heavy” engine operation and oil wasting, it is recommended to choose a less viscous oil - 5W-30

In winter, the viscosity must be reduced - 0W-20 or 0W-30 designed for use from -40 to +30 degrees. In Siberia, for example, some owners of “200s” use this oil all year round.

The right oil promotes stable engine operation, reduced fuel consumption, and trouble-free starting in cold weather.

It is also important to take into account the condition of the engine, oil consumption per 1000 km and mileage. For a car with significant mileage (more than 200,000 km), it is preferable to use motor oil with increased viscosity, without increasing the “winter” limit. For example, instead of 5W-30, fill in 5W-40, but only if the first oil is really not suitable. It happens that over the entire period of use of the car, the viscosity of the oil does not change, but this is largely the merit of the car owner.

Best oil

With a wide range of oils available, it is not easy to choose exactly “the right” oil. Therefore, a list of the best engine oils, which are chosen by Land Cruiser 200 owners, has been created for you.

But it is worth remembering that the high rating and popularity of the oil increase the chances of purchasing a fake. In order to protect yourself from purchasing counterfeit goods, we first recommend that you visit the official website of the motor oil manufacturer

If you have doubts about the reliability of the seller, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the basic differences between the original oil and the fake oil in plastic and a tin before purchasing Toyota oil.

Tolerances

When changing the oil in a Toyota Land Cruiser J200 engine, it is recommended to adhere to the engine manufacturer’s approvals, so for gasoline engines

You need to pour oil no lower than API SL, SM, SN, SN+ or ILSAC GF-5.

In diesel power units

in modification with a 1VD motor corresponding to the EURO IV standard: API CF-4, CF & ACEA B3, B4, B5 & JASO DL-0. After 2012, ACEA C2 oil is recommended for 1VD (EURO V) with a particulate filter, and ACEA B1 for an engine without a particulate filter.

What happens if you don't change the oil on time?

Oil degradation leads to a decrease in protective characteristics and the formation of carbon deposits on pistons and parts of the gas distribution mechanism. Deterioration of lubrication conditions leads to wear of the crankshaft liners and connecting rods. In diesel engines with a turbine, the rotor bearings fail, and the oil entering the chamber burns, damaging the converter.

In a number of cases, the diesel engine enters a mode of uncontrolled increase in speed (it goes into overdrive).

The engine can only be stopped by closing the air supply channel.

How much to fill

Depending on the specific Toyota LC J200 engine, the amount of oil ranges from 5.6 to 9.3 liters, so the amount of oil depends on the specific engine.

If during operation you find that the oil level is below or slightly above the minimum mark, add engine oil of the same brand that is already used in the engine. 1VD-FE, 1UR-FE and 3UR-FE engines need to add 1.5 liters, 1GR-FE - 1.7 liters

How to replace it yourself

The car owner can service the engine himself. To carry out the work you will need a minimum set of tools, a garage with an inspection hole or a lift. The procedure will take no more than 1.5 hours. No special equipment is required for maintenance.

Required Tools

To change the lubricant in the engine, you will need:

• fresh oil and new filter;
• drain plug gasket;
• set of wrenches;
• funnel and container for collecting waste;
• rags for wiping;
• rubber gloves and safety glasses.

Maintenance of a gasoline engine occurs according to an algorithm.

Oil filter

When changing engine oil, it is imperative to also replace the oil filter. Reliable and high-quality oil filters include the original Toyota oil filter 04152-YZZA4

, which is chosen not only by owners of the LCJ200 with a
4.6 URJ20
and
5.7 3UR
, but also with a
1VD 4.5
.

Other popular diesel filters include AMSOIL EA15K04, Nitto 4TP-13710029, Toyota 04152-38020 and VIC 0-121.

For engine 2UZ 4.7

your best choice would be one of these filters: Nitto 4TP126, PURFLUX LS359, VIC C101 or VIC C114.

Which Toyota Land Cruiser 200 engine is better to choose when buying this car?

Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is a roomy frame SUV, which is the second generation of this model from the Japanese automobile concern. The car has excellent cross-country ability, spacious interior and trunk, rich equipment and is a representative of the luxury segment.

In its 200th body, the Cruiser in Kazakhstan has practically no competitors, with the exception of the Toyota Prado and a similar SUV from Lexus. Otherwise, in this price segment, in terms of the ratio of car parameters, drivers usually have a choice only between Prado and LC.

The car itself is very popular in Kazakhstan. Its samples can be found in all cities of the country, both in Astana and in villages of regional significance. It is worth telling that Toyota has released a new Cruiser, which is the next representative of the generation, but here we will talk specifically about the 200 model. It exists in both a 5-seater and a 7-seater version, which can be designated as 7a.

Peculiarities

The car was equipped with several powertrain options. We will talk in more detail about the most popular of them below. Now let's look at the features of their operation.

Note that, according to driver reviews, the LK is a very reliable car with a serious service life. The engines perform well off-road, and even better on smooth roads.

In addition to SUVs, the same power units were installed on models such as 4Runner, Lit Ice, Dune, Harrier, Matrix, Ipsum, Kaldina.

A common problem is overheating. If the engine is overheating, the reasons should be sought in the cooling or oil. First, examine your own radiator to see if it has any damage, possibly cracks or other impacts. Then pay attention to the operation of the fan and how it is set correctly.

If everything is fine with cooling, then the problem may be in the engine oil, or rather, in its quality. The oil must meet the standards prescribed by the car manufacturer. If they do not comply, problems with friction may occur and, as a result, increased overheating of the elements of the power unit.

As a result: Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is a modern SUV, with excellent driving characteristics and equipment. Its separate feature is the motors, which we should talk about in more detail.

Diesel 4.5

The 4.5 liter diesel engine is perhaps the most popular option on our roads. It has great power and allows you to demonstrate excellent dynamics on country roads and in urban conditions. Unlike a gasoline engine, it has low fuel consumption - very economical. Maximum power is achieved at 3200 rpm.

The highest torque here is 615 Nm at 1800-2200 rpm. It has a turbocharger with intermediate air cooling. The maximum speed of the SUV will be 210 km/h, and acceleration to 100 km/h is achieved in 8.9 seconds. In Toyota technical documentation, this unit is called 1VD-FTV.

It has a known weak point, the water pump. It can serve for a long time, the tightness drops at around 50 thousand km. There is a lot of controversy about the oil consumption of this unit. Until 2008, there was great controversy regarding the consumption of engine oil in this system. Official sellers and car service centers claim consumption of 1 liter per 2-3 thousand kilometers.

Petrol 4.6

An alternative option you can buy is the petrol 4.6 1UR-FE. The car is extremely inefficient and its consumption can be up to 18-20 liters per 100 km in urban driving.

The highest power parameters are achieved at 5500 rpm, the highest torque is 439 Nm at 3400 rpm. There is no turbocharging here, but the car is already capable of squeezing out 205 km/h, acceleration to 100 km/h is carried out in 8.6 seconds. Such speed characteristics are quite good for an SUV.

The 1UR-FE does not have dual injectors, compared to previous models from Toyota, there are no changes in gas distribution, hollow camshafts and there are some problems.

The pump is activated by a separate belt; it becomes a source of leaks and problems. But the excellent qualities include the starting system, the absence of oil overeating and a good, long-lasting resource.

The hydraulic valve compensators and the chain are in order here, ready to last quite a long time.
