It's a much quicker job just tossing those four bolts out of the way. ~Adam 96 T100: D44, lockers and stuff Re: Changing oil...anything to keep in mind? #230615 06/05/03 03:09 PM Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 54 Kansas City, MO MR24Shoe OP Getting the Wheeling Fever did you mean to say that I'll save time "..by dropping.." the skidplate? 1996 Toyota T100 4x4 SR5 V6 1971 Datsun 240Z Re: Changing oil...anything to keep in mind? #230616 06/05/03 04:08 PM Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 2,125 61?04'17.80"N 149?44'01.89"W adam Body Damage is Cool No, I meant to say what I wrote, double negative and all. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> You read it right. It's quicker to remove it. ~Adam 96 T100: D44, lockers and stuff Re: Changing oil...anything to keep in mind? #230617 06/05/03 04:37 PM Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 54 Kansas City, MO MR24Shoe OP Getting the Wheeling Fever hehe...cool. I'll keep that in mind and probably do that. Looks like my filters were delivered today (according to tracking). I'll go buy the oil, and do the change tonight. 1996 Toyota T100 4x4 SR5 V6 1971 Datsun 240Z Re: Changing oil...anything to keep in mind? #230618 06/05/03 06:40 PM Anonymous Unregistered Why does the T100 have the oil filter upside down? I get it all over the place each time I change it. I used to change it with the skid plate on. I just changed my oil for the first time since I got my lift. With the lift I haven't bought or made a skid plate yet. It is so much easier to get the oil filter out, but it still drains while I unscrew it.

(Opening to the bottom) It's that way in the MR2 as well...Some folks use a nail to poke a hole through the top to allow some air in there to let it drain while still connected. Think that'll work on the T? 1996 Toyota T100 4x4 SR5 V6 1971 Datsun 240Z Re: Changing oil...anything to keep in mind? #230620 06/05/03 08:46 PM Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 2,125 61?04'17.80"N 149?44'01.89"W adam Body Damage is Cool That might work. Sometimes I do the oil and get busy greasing or otherwise inspecting before I remove the filter. The extra drain time (30 minutes?) reduces mess some. Never tried the nail trick. Getting a cup under there is the surest way I've found to keep things tidy. I've also heard that breaking the seal then slipping a ziploc over the filter before loosening it helps reduce mess. ~Adam 96 T100: D44, lockers and stuff Re: Changing oil...anything to keep in mind? #230621 06/05/03 08:54 PM Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 54 Kansas City, MO MR24Shoe OP Getting the Wheeling Fever How about Jack Points? Where to stick the jack to get it up...where to put the jack stands to hold it up? Obviously this could be done many ways...but if there's a "best way", I'd like to know.... 1996 Toyota T100 4x4 SR5 V6 1971 Datsun 240Z Page 2 of 3 1 2 3 Moderated by  4x4Wire, Dandeman, ErikB, kewlynx  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
