drain plug TOYOTA CAMRY 2000 Service Repair Manual

2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT QUALITY
There should not be any excessive deposits of rust or
scales around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole,
and the engine coolant should be free from oil.
If excessively dirty, replace the engine coolant.
3. REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of being burned, do not
remove It while the engine and radiator are still hot, as
fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Drain the engine coolant from the radiator drain cock
and engine drain plug. (Engine drain plug at the right
rear of cylinder block.)
(c) Close the drain cock and plug.
Torque (Engine drain plug):
13 N±m (130 kgf±cm, 9 ft±lbf)
(d) Slowly fill the system with coolant.
Use a good brand of ethylene±glycol base
coolant and mix it according to the
manufacturer 's directions.
Using engine coolant which includes more than
5096 ethylene±glycol (but not more than 7096) is
recommended.
NOTICE:
wDo not use a alcohol type coolant.
wThe engine coolant should be mixed with demineral±
ized water or distilled water.
Capacity (w/ Heater):
8.3 liters (6.7 US qts, 5.5 Imp.qts)
(a) Reinstall the radiator cap.
(f) Warm up the engine and check for leaks.
(g) Recheck the engine coolant level and refill as neces±
sary.
COOLANT CHECK AND
REPLACEMENT
1. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR
TANK
The engine coolant level should be between the
ºLOWº and ªFULLº lines.
If low, check for leaks and add engine coolant up to
the ªFULLº line.

6. INSPECT FOR WATER LEAKS
(a) Tighten the drain cock.
(b) Plug the inlet and outlet pipes of the radiator with
SST.
SST 09230 ± 01010
(c) Using a radiator cap tester, apply pressure to the
radiator.
Test pressure:
177 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm
, 26 psi) (b) Check the lock plate height (H) after completing the
caulking.
Plate height:
7.75±8.25 mm (0±3051±0.3248 in.)
If not within the specified height, adjust the stopper
bolt of the handle again and perform the caulking
again.wThe points shown in the illustration and oil cooler
near here (A/T) cannot be staked with the SST.
Use a plier or like object and be careful not to
damage the core plates. After repeating this a few times, fully caulk the lock
plate by squeezing the handle until stopped by the
stopper plate.
SST 09230 ± 01010
HINT:
wDo not stake the areas protruding around the
pipes, brackets or tank ribs.

OIL AND FILTER REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:
wProlonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addi±
tion, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
wCare should be taken, therefore, when changing
engine, oil to minimize the frequency and length of
time your skin is exposed to used engine oil. Protec±
tive clothing and gloves that cannot be penetrated
by oil should be worn. The skin should be thorought±
hly washed with soap and water, or use water±less
hand cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not
use gasoline, thinners, or solvents.
wIn order to preserve the environment, used oil and
used oil filter must be disposed of only at designated
disposal sites.
1. DRAIN ENGINE OIL
(a) Remove the oil filler cap.
(b) Remove the oil drain plug, and drain the oil into a
container.
2. REPLACE OIL FILTER
(a) Using SST, remove the oil filter.
SST 09228±06500
(b) Check and clean the oil filter installation surface.

If you perform maintenance by yourself,
be sure to follow the correct procedure
given in this part.
You should be aware that improper or in-
complete servicing may result in operating
problems.
Performing do±it±yourself maintenance
during the warranty period may affect your
warranty coverage. Read the separate
Toyota Warranty statement for details and
suggestions.
This part gives instructions only for those
items that are relatively easy for an owner
to perform. As explained in Part 6, there
are still a number of items that must be
done by a qualified technician with special
tools.
For information on tools and parts for do±
it±yourself maintenance, see ºParts and
toolsº.
Utmost care should be taken when work-
ing on your vehicle to prevent accidental
injury. Here are a few precautions that
you should be especially careful to ob-
serve:CAUTION
When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, and tools away
from the moving fan and engine
drive belts. (Removing rings,
watches, and ties is advisable.)
Right after driving, the engine
compartmentÐthe engine, radiator,
exhaust manifold and spark plug
boots, etc.Ðwill be hot. So be care-
ful not to touch them. Oil, fluids
and spark plugs may also be hot.
If the engine is hot, do not remove
the radiator cap or loosen the drain
plugs to prevent burning yourself.
Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames around fuel or the
battery. Their fumes are flammable.
Be extremely cautious when work-
ing on the battery. It contains poi-
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
Do not get under your vehicle with
just the body jack supporting it. Al-
ways use automotive jack stands or
other solid supports.
