Motor oil, replacement volume 7 l. The car can be equipped with a particulate filter (it looks like a barrel of 5-10 liters and stands in the place where the catalyst is located in gasoline cars). In this case, the manufacturer recommends JASO DL-1 approval. This is not only a low ash content, but also a package of additives aimed at reducing the wear of a Japanese diesel engine, which is structurally different from a European one.From Europe, engine oils with ACEA C2 approval are recommended.If there is no particulate filter, use oils with API CF / CF-4 approvals. The key to a long engine life is frequent oil changes, we recommend 5-7 thousand km.
Oil in automatic transmission, the full amount 10.6 l . Toyota WS type fluid or equivalent is used. Replacement recommendations: partially every 30-40 thousand km. On machines with decent mileage, we recommend installing an external oil filter.
Oil in the rear axle, volume 2.1 - 2.75 l, only with API classGL-5. Replacement every 20-30 thousand km. All options are shown below.
Oil in front gear, volume 1.35 - 1.45 l, only with API classGL-5. The manufacturer is supposed to pour LT 75W-85, this is a regular gear oil, with a slightly reduced high temperature viscosity.You can pour 75W-90, class GL-5. Replacement every 20-30 thousand km.
Oil in transfer case, volume 1.4 l.Installed razdatka VF4BM, a modified version of the one that was placed on the previous body. The razdatka is electronically controlled by the brain, blocking the center differential. The rest of the dispenser retained the previous design. In connection with these changes and the general trend towards a decrease in the viscosity of oils, Toyota recommends using oil for dispensing. Some owners pour traditional 75W-90 with a GL-4 grade.Replacement every 40-60 thousand km (every second replacement in the front and rear gearboxes).
Antifreeze, total volume 13.1 - 15 l (with front heater); 15 l (two heaters - front and rear). The manufacturer recommends an organic pink antifreeze with an extended lifespan.Recommendations for replacement - the first time in 7-8 years, then 1 time in 3-4 years.
Oil in power steering, the volume is about 1 - 1.5 liters. Either special fluids labeled PSF or automatic transmission fluid
Glow plugs (incandescent)- 4 things
Brake fluid. Look carefully at the inscriptions on the cap of the expansion tank of the brake system. If it says "only DOT-3" or "only BF-3", use only Dot-3 grade fluid. Replacement every two years or every 40 thousand km.
Batteries. The diesel Prado is equipped with 2 batteries of the same size, but with different polarity. Pay attention to this. In the selection, these batteries go one after another.
headlight lamps. If the dipped beam is with halogen lamps, then the base is H11, if xenon, then the base is D4S. High beam only halogen lamps, base HB3.
Land Cruiser Prado 150 is a fourth-generation reliable SUV from the Japanese auto concern Toyota. Since 2012, at the plant in Vladivostok, the car has been equipped with gasoline 1GR-FE (4 l), 2TR-FE, (2.7) l. and turbodiesel engine 1KD-FTV (3 l). In this case, we will show how to change the oil in a 1KD-FTV diesel engine.
When, how much and what kind of oil is needed for Prado 150 (diesel)
In order to choose the right oil for replacement, you must use the instructions that came with your car.
If your car is under warranty service, then the use of oils from other manufacturers is not recommended.
For 1KD-FTV diesel engine and its modifications: KDJ150R-GKFEYW, KDJ150R-GKAEYW, KDJ150L-GKFEYW, KDJ150GKAEYW, KDJ155R-GJFEYW, KDJ155R-GJAEYW, KDJ155L-GJFEYW and KDJ155L-GJFEYW and KDJ155L-GJAEYW, the best alternative engine oil for Genuine Motor Oil. Also, after the end of the warranty, you can use an equivalent engine oil that meets the requirements of API quality and oil viscosity.
For a complete replacement, the following types of oils are suitable: G-DLD-1, API CF-4, CF or ACEA B1, in extreme cases, API CE or CD brands can be used. The recommended viscosity of the oil must correspond to the temperature regime of the climatic conditions of the vehicle.
For example, when using oil with a viscosity of SAE 10W-30 or higher at extremely low temperatures, it may be difficult to start the 1KD-FTV engine.
In accordance with the instructions, the filling volume of lubricant will be:
- for replacement with 7.0 l filter;
- for replacement without filter 6.7 l.

While the oil is draining, we find the filter under the hood, unscrew its cover, this is done using a wrench with an extension cord.
We take out the filter carefully so as not to spill the oil inside.
Using a compressor with a tube, we pump out the remaining oil.
We take out a new filter from the package and grease the gum with oil.
SUV medium-sized Japanese concern Toyota. From the first generation, this "baby" had a high cross-country ability with the comfort of a passenger car. Initially, the car was built on the basis of other Toyota models, but from the third generation, an independent Land Cruiser Prado model appeared.
History of generations and range of engines
In total, there are 4 generations in the Toyota Prado line. The first generation (J70) started with sales in 1990. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado was a lighter version of the Land Cruiser 70. Those cars were equipped with injection 2.4 and 2.7 liter aspirated. Diesel versions had a volume of 2.8 liters. There were also turbodiesel engines of 2.3 and 3.0 liters. The first generation was produced for six whole years until 1996.
The second generation (J120) was also produced for six whole years (from 1996 to 2002). The second generation Toyota Land Cruiser Prado was also equipped with the old 2.7 liter engine and the brand new 3.4 liter (with V6). In 1999, the appearance was restyled, but in 2000 a new 3.0 turbocharged diesel engine was added.
The third generation (J120) was produced from 2002 to 2009. Of the engines, there were the same 2.7 and 3.4 petrols, a 3.0 liter turbodiesel. In 2004, he was waiting for a big upgrade of engines where the old ones replaced the new ones with 2.7 liters and 3.0 liters. The turbodiesel has also been replaced with a 4.0L.
The fourth generation (J150) began production in 2009. It was made on the updated platform 120 series. In appearance it was more than the previous generations of the car.
Motor oil
Despite the great power and seemingly large dimensions, servicing this car is not more difficult than the others. Changing the oil and filters at the service station costs a tidy sum, but this is not such a difficult task.
What oil to pour
For the J70 motor, semi-synthetic oils with a viscosity of 5W30, 5W40, 10W30 and 10W40 are usually chosen. Viscosity is best chosen based on the region in which you live. For example, for cold areas, 5W30 and 10W30 are more suitable, and for hot areas, the rest.
For the J120 engine, owners (judging by the reviews) recommend engine oils with a viscosity of 0W20, 0W30, 5W30 and 10W40. Of the firms, these are Mobile and Motul. Of course, you can try others, but these are the most commonly used.
In more modern J150 engines, official dealers fill in engine oils with a viscosity of 5W30.
The diesel Toyota Prado 150 is also poured with 5W30 and 5W40. For example, officials often choose - Idemitsu Zepro Diesel DL -1 5W-30.
Replacement interval
In reality, many people change the oil earlier, at about 10-12 thousand on petrols, and already after 8 thousand km on diesels. Why such a small interval? This is explained by the quality of roads, gasoline and the lubricant itself.
How to change
Oil filter
An important node in the lubrication system of any car. Engine oil lubricates moving parts and the oil filter keeps metal debris (crumbs, sawdust, dust, sand and other debris) and cleans this oil in this way.
When should the filter be changed?
Each filter should be replaced along with the engine oil change. They should be considered as one mechanism and they should also be serviced together. Recommendation for replacement every 10-15 thousand km or once a year.
Power steering (GUR)
Power steering helps you turn the steering wheel along with the wheels, while you spend many times less power than a car without a power steering system.
On the expansion tank of the power steering there are marks by which you can understand what the current liquid level is large or, on the contrary, small and needs to be added. A quick inspection of the power steering system can solve a lot of problems along the way, so look under the hood once a month.
What to pay attention to?
- Monitoring the level of liquid (oil) power steering and its color in the expansion tank;
- Checking the drive belt for the power steering pump;
- General condition of hoses (inspection for cracks, abrasions and chips);
- Hose connections.
How to change
Power steering fluid (oil) replacement can be done in several ways, while partially changing the fluid and completely. The first way is faster and easier, the second is better.
Partial replacement
Partial replacement of power steering fluid involves pumping fluid out of the power steering expansion tank using a large syringe or pear. After the tank is completely empty, fill in fresh liquid to the maximum mark. We start the car and turn the steering wheel left / right. After a few minutes, turn off the engine and check the color of the power steering fluid. If it is too dark, repeat the procedure until the desired result.
Complete replacement
To replace the power steering fluid, remove the air duct, the power steering fluid reservoir. Pour the old liquid from the barrel into another container. While draining, note the condition of the old oil for any foreign metal particles present. If they are noticeable, this may indicate pump wear. To completely drain the power steering, you can turn the steering wheel left and right.
Oil pressure sensor
If the oil pressure sensor on the Volkswagen Polo lights up, then an exciting set of checks of the engine and individual components awaits you ahead. What can cause the sensor to light up?
- Low oil pressure in the engine. The easiest option is to check the dipstick, if a little add the required level.
- Too old oil. Look at the color of the oil, rub it with your fingers (oiliness should be felt). If the oil is too old, it is better to change to a new one.
- Oil pump malfunction.
- The oil pressure sensor has failed. If you checked the previous steps and nothing helped, check the sensor itself. Visual inspection will help determine the external condition of the device. Replace with a new one if necessary. It happens that the sensor is covered in oil, this may indicate that the leak is going through the sensor. Of course, such a part must be replaced immediately.
How to replace
Replacing the sensor does not require much effort. At the rear of the cylinder block (where the unit number is indicated), press the wire retainer and remove the terminal. The sensor itself is unscrewed with a key x 22. When installing a new sensor, make sure that there is a sealing washer.

The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is a full-size SUV that is extremely reliable and durable, with a solid and proven design. This model is considered the best-selling SUV in Russia among classmates. This is not surprising, given not only good driving performance and high reliability, but also the possibility of self-maintenance, despite the rather complex design. At the very least, we are talking about performing elementary repair procedures, such as changing engine oil. In fact, even an inexperienced owner of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado will cope with this task, if you carefully read the user manual. As you know, the process of changing the oil is preceded by the choice of the oil itself. This procedure is more responsible, and requires little knowledge in the field of theory, including various parameters and standards. In this article, using the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado as an example, we will consider in detail how to choose the right engine oil, as well as how much to fill it in, depending on the displacement of the internal combustion engine and the model year of the car.
Replacement frequency
It must be said right away that the official oil change regulations for Toyota Land Cruiser may not be relevant if the car is often operated in difficult climatic and road zones. For example, when driving only in the city, it is enough to pay attention to the regulations, which are about 15 thousand kilometers. But since we have an SUV in front of us, it is often used off-road. In this regard, a more frequent oil change may be required, since under the influence of negative factors, the liquid quickly loses its useful properties, and as a result becomes unusable. For example, experienced Russian owners who regularly subject their Land Cruiser to extreme loads prefer to change the oil every 7-10 thousand kilometers. When driving around the city, taking into account the variable climate, the frequency of replacement can be 10-12 thousand km.
How to determine the quality of the oil
To understand that the oil has become unusable and needs to be replaced, to do this, look at its color, and pay attention to the smell and composition of the liquid. So, if the oil is colored dark brown, and also has a specific smell of burning and contains foreign impurities (metal chips, mud deposits, soot, dust, etc.), in this case, an oil change can be immediately added to the list of the most urgent tasks for the near future.
When to Check Your Oil
There are several generally accepted signs, upon detection of which it will not be superfluous to check the condition of the lubricant:
- Fuzzy gear shifting
- The engine is running and is not able to develop maximum speed
- Engine running at partial power
- Increased fuel consumption
- High level of vibrations and noises
Types of motor oils
There are only three types of lubricants on the market, which are the most popular among all the others:
- Synthetic oil is the most demanded product among foreign cars, including all modern cars. This oil has good non-stick and extreme pressure properties and, due to its high fluidity, is quite stable at low temperatures. Thanks to this, synthetics can be recommended to owners of Toyota Land Cruiser Prado with low mileage, as well as for operation in harsh winter conditions - for example, in Siberia.
- Mineral oil is the exact opposite of synthetic. In frosty weather, mineral water can quickly thicken, which is an advantage, and at the same time a disadvantage. The downside is that it instantly freezes, and the plus is the absence of oil leaks, which are prone to cars with high mileage. The absence of leaks is due to the excessive density of mineral oil, and as a result, it may not pass even through a microcrack in the body. Mineral water is more suitable for older cars, including Land Cruisers with high mileage.
- Semi-synthetic is a fairly high-quality oil, despite its significant shortcomings. It consists of 70% mineral and 30% synthetic oils. It is also used for cars with high mileage. The main advantages of semi-synthetics are that such an oil resists low temperatures a little better, and has a longer shelf life.
Based on the data obtained for each of the three motor oils, we can conclude that for Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, synthetic oil would be the best option, and semi-synthetics take second place.
Now consider the parameters of engine oil, as well as how much to fill in depending on the type of engine and its displacement.
