1GR-FE Toyota 4Runner Oil Filter Cap - Plastic upgraded to Metal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 дек 2023
- In this video a 5th generation 2021 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4x4 has it's plastic oil filter housing cap (P/N: 15650-38020) replaced with an aluminum oil filter housing cap (P/N: 15620-31060). This could be applicable to most any 1GR-FE engine use case that does not come with the metal cap from the factory; the FJ Cruiser would be another example of this.
Parts used:
15620-31060 - Engine Oil Filter Housing
04152-YZZA5 - Oil Filter and O-Ring Kit
90430-12031 - Engine Oil Drain Plug Gasket

Oil filter cap/housing to oil cooler - 25 N·m {255 kgf·cm, 18 ft·lbf}
3/8" drive end cap to oil filter cap/housing to oil cooler - 13 N·m {127 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf}
Oil drain plug - 40 N·m {408 kgf·cm, 30 ft·lbf}
Oil drain plug access panel bolts - 29 N·m {296 kgf·cm, 21 ft·lbf}

Thanks
You are welcome! Hope it helped.
I did my 2023 4runner with first oil change at 1000 miles. Did it all right, I thought, but noticed an oil stain under the car, on my new pavers! Do you think it was a counterfeit aluminum cap, or mis-positioning of the new o-ring? really worried about more leaking, if I go back to the metal over the plastic!
Depends on where you got the cap from. If it was from Amazon or eBay I know there are tons of counterfeit parts out there that are not made to the exact same tolerances. So far I have had no drips underneath the vehicle that I have seen. I have put about 200 miles on it since I did the change over.
On the bad o-ring I did notice a bit more squeaking from it as I hand tightened the filter as compared to the plastic housing. I was very liberal with fresh oil on it as you can see in the video. To the point that it is a bit of a mess, but I did not want it to bind up. Maybe you had a bit of that going on as well? Hard to say exactly.
Perhaps it will not leak if I try it again. Be very careful with the O-ring, lubricate and with great care, put into place. Then, a piece of cardboard under the spot, to catch/see if there is any leak. Then, if it leaks, the aluminum will get "recycled". Thanks. @@brycecarlson
@@davebrucher2283 yeah, not a problem. My other thought after I made that comment yesterday was torque spec. Maybe it was just slightly under torqued. I would be nervous about overturning but possibly it was not tight enough?
@@brycecarlson When you put on the housing, hand tight, it looked like it was more than 18 ft./lbs when you checked with torque wrench. Perhaps too tight, or too loose. Good things to be aware of. Thanks.
Good video, Bryce. We produce LED lighting for AUTO. Do you have a plan to upgrade the headlight of 4runner to LEDs? We'd love to invite you to do a product review.
Hey! No plans. The 2020 and newer 4Runner comes with LED headlights as standard, and the 2021 comes with LED fog lights as well.
@@brycecarlson That's a bumper. I literally wish to work out something with you
why should change plastic Oil Filter Cap to metal?
I did it because in the past when my vehicles get to high mileage (150-200k miles) the plastic caps can crack and leak oil. This is just preventative as it was not leaking now.
I would just upgrade to a better vehicle than Toyota
Bless your heart.
define better
Good point
It is so hard to find those old Ford Pintos, with original fuel tank and low miles!!
😅Looks like I triggered some people that are weak Well foreign car levers that support companies that sell money back overseas instead of America I know a vehicle that has 500 torque and 400 horse that gets 32 miles to a gallon are better that actually is good for long trips and off-roading since you all think you're all smart figure out the vehicle I'm talking about don't cry because somebody doesn't like your junk
